Happy Victoria Day
Victoria Day in British Columbia is a statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25, honouring Queen Victoria’s birthday (May 24, 1819). But then you already knew that.
In 2025, it falls on May 19. It’s also informally seen as the kickoff to summer, with parades, festivals, and outdoor activities across the province. Did you know the United Nations organization UNESCO, considers New Westminster’s May Day an expression of “Living Culture”. New Westminster has hosted a May Day celebration for 155 years in a row.
“May Day in New Westminster began in 1870 ( which means May Day celebrations pre-date British Columbia’s entry into Confederation in 1871 and even the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885) and this year it turns 155 years old.” NW May Day Information
