Summer: June - August

Peak season in Canada is the summer season, June to August, and for a good reason. Visitors can travel across the country with relative ease to enjoy a wide-spanning array of activities. The summer months are the country’s peak season, and all of Canada is bustling with festivals including the Calgary Stampede in July, the Festival de Jazz de Montreal (Montreal Jazz Festival in July) in Quebec, the Carnival, the Canadian National Exhibition, and Pride parade. All in Toronto, these grand celebrations are held throughout the summer, and they all offer great food too.

For nature lovers, there are countless sites to visit and explore in the summer, with many activities to partake in and enjoy. You will find all the best attractions, national parks, hiking trails open to visitors, and you can explore to your heart’s content.

The Temperature in Canada does vary across the country due to its size and ranging latitude, but you can expect the warmest temperatures of the year during the summer months. Toronto sees temperatures ranging from 70 to 95 degrees F, while most temperate zones like Vancouver will see smaller ranges and lower average temperatures around 65 to 80 degrees F.

The only downside to visiting in the peak summer months is that you may encounter crowds. If you are looking to avoid crowds, you may want to pick alternative destinations and smaller cities and towns. That way, you can save money, time, and create your own unique, Canadian experience.
