Get ready, Torontonians! The much-anticipated first long weekend of summer is here! Wondering what's open and closed during the Victoria Day weekend 2025? We've got the inside scoop!
Closed on Monday: The List You Need to Know
If you're making plans, be aware that several key places will be closed on Monday. Banks, LCBO stores, and Beer Store locations won't be operating. Major shopping destinations like Yorkdale Shopping Centre and CF Sherway Gardens also shut their doors, along with the Toronto Public Library, which remains closed both Sunday and Monday.
What's Open for Your Enjoyment?
Don't fret! There’s plenty to keep you entertained. Major attractions like Ripley’s Aquarium, the Toronto Zoo, and the iconic CN Tower are all welcoming visitors. Plus, if you're venturing out, public transit is still running: the TTC will be on a holiday schedule, while GO Transit operates on a Saturday schedule.
Cinemas will be screening the latest blockbusters, and select pharmacies will be open during reduced hours. If you're in the mood for some retail therapy, head over to Eaton Centre or Square One in Mississauga, both of which will be open. Lucky for you, some grocery stores like The Kitchen Table and T&T are also ready to serve!
Weather Woes: What to Expect
As you make your plans, keep an eye on the weather! Friday promises sunshine with a warm 27°C, but Saturday might bring thunderstorms and a cooler 20°C. Don't worry—sunshine returns for Sunday and Monday, though it will be slightly cooler at around 17°C and 16°C, respectively. Perfect for a leisurely stroll or outdoor activities!
