Spring break 2027 in Quebec is expected to run 1 to 5 March (CSSDM).

Here is every break in the 2026-27 school year, the public holidays, and a calendar you can add in one tap.

Dates from Centre de services scolaire de Montréal (CSSDM). Quebec has no province-wide spring break: each centre de services scolaire sets its own semaine de relâche, so dates differ between Montreal, Laval, the South Shore and Quebec City. Dates below are CSSDM 2026-27 as published in its schools' calendars (the board-wide calendar was only available as school PDFs).

2027-28

Not yet announced

Centre de services scolaire de Montréal (CSSDM) hasn't published its 2027-28 calendar yet. We don't guess: the dates go up here, and into the calendar feed, as soon as they are official.

Dates are inclusive school days off, Monday to Friday. Individual schools can add closure days of their own (training days, PA days, inset days), so check with your school before you book anything non-refundable.

For travellers and advisors

What these dates do to demand

Montreal's semaine de relâche (1 to 5 March 2027) falls two weeks before Ontario's March Break (15 to 19 March), so Quebec and Ontario family demand for sun destinations peaks in different weeks.
The Fête nationale (Thursday 24 June 2027) and Canada Day (Thursday 1 July) both fall on Thursdays, so taking the Friday off creates four-day weekends (24 to 27 June and 1 to 4 July); Quebec schools are already out by then.
Quebec's July construction holiday (the last two weeks of July) is a well-known peak for domestic travel; exact 2027 dates are not covered here.
