Canada Day restaurant FAQ

When is Canada Day 2027?

Canada Day 2027 is on Thursday, July 1, 2027.

Are restaurants open on Canada Day?

Many are. Canada Day is a statutory holiday, but restaurants may open, and in Ontario restaurant staff can be scheduled on a public holiday under special industry rules. Hours vary by location, and some restaurants in office districts or malls close or change their hours, so check a restaurant's July 1 hours before you go.

Is Canada Day a statutory holiday everywhere in Canada?

Yes. July 1 is a legal holiday across Canada under the federal Holidays Act and a statutory or general holiday in every province. When July 1 falls on a Sunday, the holiday is Monday, July 2. In Newfoundland and Labrador, July 1 is also Memorial Day.

Do happy hours and weekday deals run on Canada Day?

Not always. Some restaurants exclude statutory holidays from weekday deals such as happy hours and lunch specials, and buffets often switch to weekend or holiday pricing. The deals on this page run on the weekday that July 1 falls on, but check each one's conditions for a holiday exclusion.

Do restaurants give away free food on Canada Day?

Rarely. Mandarin served free buffets at its Ontario restaurants on Canada Day in 2019 and 2024, both anniversary years, with no reservations and long lines. Chains more often release themed menu items or one-day price offers. Free food announced for the current year is listed in the specials on this page.

Which day is the holiday when Canada Day falls on a weekend?

When July 1 is a Sunday, Monday, July 2 is the legal holiday. When July 1 is a Saturday, the holiday stays on the Saturday under the Holidays Act, although some employees, including federally regulated workers who do not work Saturdays, get the work day before or after off instead.

Not yet. As of November 13, 2026, no restaurant in the cities we cover has published a Canada Day 2027 special on its website, app or social channels. Specials are added here with their price, dates and source once a restaurant announces one.

About Canada Day

Canada Day, July 1, marks Confederation in 1867 and is a legal holiday across the country. When July 1 falls on a Sunday, the holiday moves to Monday, July 2; when it falls on a Saturday, it stays on the Saturday. In Newfoundland and Labrador, July 1 is also Memorial Day. Restaurants may open on the holiday, and their hours vary by location.

What restaurants publish for July 1 varies more than for most holidays. National chains release red-and-white menu items, app offers or one-day price promotions; pubs and sports bars run patio parties with half-price drinks, wings or poutine; and dining rooms post Canada Day prix fixe or brunch menus. Free-food days are rare and usually tied to a company anniversary.

Holiday rules are the catch. Some restaurants exclude statutory holidays from weekday deals such as happy hours and lunch specials, buffets often switch to weekend or holiday prices, free-food events are first come, first served with no reservations, and patio parties may need tickets. Drink discounts in Alberta cannot go below the province's minimum drink prices. Check the restaurant's own July 1 hours and terms before you go.
