This weekend is usually around the 24th of May, so its always been called May 2-4 weekend......and 2-4 means 24 beer!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Its our first long weekend since Easter, this is when everyone plants perennials by rule of thumb, not before as we get frost.

tons of activities going on all weekend and a huge firework display on a barge in Lake Ontario and tons of parks also have them.

So for our Canadians here, what are your plans eh?:guitarist:guitarist

Of course, for years it meant in the car and up north camping for a weekend. Then for years it was mostly hanging around the Beaches area in Toronto where they would have fireworks in the evening.

But it always meant the start of summer.
