According to my Susan Branch calendar, today is known as Victoria Day to our Canadian neighbors. It is the day they celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday, and it sounds like they partake in quite a bit of merrymaking with parades, fireworks, drinking, etc. It is also considered the unofficial start of the Canadian summer season because the threat of frost is over (although we had a frost warning here last night - luckily Lake Michigan acted like a great insulator and kept us above freezing). Sounds like a fun time to be visiting Quebec or Montreal.
The Canadians will get to dance tonight by the light of the full Flower Moon, which acccording to the Farmer's Almanac is the moon of health, romance, love, and wisdom. Here's hoping for a clear night for moongazing.

Isn't that a beautiful name, "Flower Moon." I love it. It really is when the flowers begin here. Our last frost date isn't until Memorial Day.
I've read it's also known as the "Milk Moon", which is pretty too but I like flower better! I hope you could see it where you live - we had too many clouds. :(
