Easter Monday, falling on April 6, 2026, raises the question: how will this holiday be observed in Montreal? The answer is that the city is preparing for a vibrant Easter long weekend, with public markets and museums remaining open, while some stores will close for the holiday.

On Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, the city will celebrate the most significant event in the Christian calendar, marking Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. This day is traditionally associated with various festivities, including the exchange of Easter eggs, a symbol of new life and renewal. In 1290, King Edward I famously purchased 450 eggs for Easter celebrations, highlighting the long-standing tradition.

During the Easter long weekend, which spans three days, public markets in Montreal will be open, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy local produce and crafts. Most museums will also remain accessible, offering a chance to explore art and history during this festive period. However, it’s important to note that the SAQ and SQDC stores will be closed on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, limiting alcohol purchases on that day.

Transportation in Montreal will operate on a holiday schedule throughout the Easter long weekend, ensuring that residents can travel to various events and activities without hassle. This holiday schedule is designed to accommodate the influx of visitors and the local community participating in Easter festivities.

As part of the celebrations, The Anglers pub in Teddington will host an Easter Egg Hunt on April 4, 2026, starting at 10 AM and concluding at 12 PM. This event is expected to attract families looking to engage in traditional Easter activities, further enriching the community spirit during this time.

While Easter school holidays in London will run from March 30 to April 10, 2026, the focus in Montreal will be on the local observances and traditions. The city’s diverse population will likely see a variety of celebrations, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the region.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional events or specific activities planned for Easter Monday itself. However, the overall atmosphere is expected to be festive, with many residents taking advantage of the long weekend to spend time with family and friends.
