Fireworks For Victoria Day all across Canada

Victoria Day, in French: Fête de la Reine, is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the last Monday before or on 24 May, in honour of both Queen Victoria's birthday and the current reigning Canadian sovereign's official birthday. It has been marked since before Canada was formed, originally falling on the sovereign's actual birthday, and continues to be celebrated across the country on a fixed date and in various fashions, also being considered an informal mark of the beginning of the summer season and a fantastic excuse for some of the largest fireworks displays in the country.
