Holidays in Canada in 2023: long weekends to plan your travels
To help you plan your travel in 2023, we researched all holidays in Canada that will be long weekends next year.
Breaks during the year are excellent opportunities to relax and send the stress far away from your life. Check the perfect date opportunities to travel in our list below:
Good Friday – April 7th and Easter Monday – April 10th
Spring is an amazing time to visit St. John’s. The city gardens bloom and create a perfect scenario with our colorful row and Victorian style houses. The Easter holiday is a great opportunity to explore the city attractions since it is the longest weekend.
Travel tip: Use the extra time to drive to nearby locations such as the La Manche Provincial Park, one hour by car from the hotel.

Victoria Day – Monday – May 22
Victoria’s Day happens on a Monday, giving you three full days to explore the city. As the weather gets warmer, one good idea is to go for hikes and see the beautiful St. Johns scenarios.
Travel tip: A must-go for hiking lovers is the East Coast Trail. Views from the bay, lighthouses, and much more. Check more info on the East Coast Trail website: https://www.eastcoasttrail.com/en/index.aspx

Civic Holiday – Monday – August 7
Enjoy the last bit of warmer temperatures to visit St. John’s outdoors. For a long weekend, picnics in parks, walks along the lake or strolls downtown are great.
Travel tip: Visit Bannerman Park, Downtown St John’s and go for delicious ice cream at The Parlour, right in front of the park!
