Popular Vacation Periods in North America

Peak vacation times differ slightly between the U.S. and Canada:

United States

• Summer (June–August): Peak season due to school breaks.
• Spring Break (mid-March–early April): Popular for college students.
• Thanksgiving (late November) & Christmas/New Year (late Dec–early Jan): Major family travel periods.

Canada

• Summer (July–August): Peak for lake and national park trips.
• Winter (December–March): Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating drive travel.
• March Break (mid-March): Family vacations during school break.

These periods see higher demand and prices for travel and accommodations.
