Start planning now for Victoria Day 2022 with a little help from Walmart Canada.

When is Victoria Day?

Victoria Day is on Monday, May 23, 2022, and is celebrated as a Canadian statutory holiday. It is the birthdate of Queen Victoria and for many Canadians, Victoria Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer!

Camping essentials for your May Long Weekend

If your idea of the perfect Victoria Day long weekend is getting out of town and back into nature, Walmart Canada can help you gather the camping essentials you need for a restful and hassle-free camping trip. Tents of all sizes keep you cozy and safe in the great outdoors, and camping cooking equipment along with camping meal kits ensure that you have more than marshmallows and hot dogs to eat while having fun with friends.

Stock up on emergency preparedness gear, just in case the unexpected should occur, and choose from a wide supply of air beds, sleeping bags and sleeping accessories to make sure you're rested for all the fun the next day will bring. Don't forget to pack the other camping basics, including folding tables, camp chairs, lanterns, flashlights and daypacks.

Outdoor toys and games to bring the fun to Victoria Day

If your Victoria Day or other summertime long weekend takes you to the park or even to your own backyard, you can liven things up with a wide assortment of outdoor toys and games. It's always fun to test your throwing skills, whether you prefer bean bags, horseshoes or even axes. Set up a badminton, jai alai or volleyball game on your lawn to get everyone in your group away from the munchies and up on their feet.

Little kids can join in the fun with starter lawn golf sets sized just for them, irresistible parachutes for jumping and playing and giant inflatable bowling sets where the pieces are so huge, you can't possibly miss. Croquet and bocce ball sets provide gentler competition for those not interested in running and jumping, and safe plastic lawn darts give you a chance to show off your skills.

Coolers, sunscreen and other outdoor essentials for Victoria Day Weekend

Having the right gear makes it possible to enjoy your long weekend without any scrambling. Keep sunscreen on hand to protect everyone's skin while spending long hours under the sun. Baby and children's sunscreens are designed for tender, young skin, and sports sunscreens provide protection even when you're exerting yourself and perspiring.

Nothing beats the heat like an icy cold drink, so make sure you have the coolers you need to keep all your beverages at drinking temperature. Wheeled coolers are easy to transport to your spot at an outdoor concert or picnic, and thermoelectric coolers plug in to give you a true refrigerated experience.

If your warm-weather goal is to get out on the road and explore, head to Walmart Canada's Bike Shop to choose just the right two-wheeler to make your adventures come to life.

Sometimes the best way to spend a long weekend is just to chill at home, so start prepping for Victoria Day 2022 by updating your patio or deck with just the right patio furniture, outdoor fire pits, fountains and gazebos. Stocking up on outdoor summer cooking essentials like BBQ, including condiments, salad toppings and spices, means you're ready to indulge your culinary imagination. Or order in some sweet summer treats, such as s'mores, popsicles, or sundae fixings, to end your long weekend perfectly.
