I'm 19 and currently a Queen's student, and "May 2-4" is definitely an Ontarionism if you ask me. Everyone my age is quite familiar with the term, and it does indeed refer to the long weekend that usually falls around May 24th as a result of Victoria Day. For us teens and university students, it simply means "a day to get drunk and party", usually at a campsite or cottage, just like "420" is April 20th, the day to get high. It also most likely originates from the fact that the short term for a 24-pack of beer is "a 2-4". How would you use "May 2-4" in a sentence? Easy: "WOO, it's May 2-4 weekend, let's get wasted!" haha Hi all!

In fact, most campgrounds prohibit the use of alcoholic beverages on the May 2-4 weekend. There will be as much consumed “out” of the campgrounds as “in” the campgrounds.

Glad to see you wading in on the voting. Funny that I really didn't expect it to be an Ontarioism. I thought it was one of those sayings that I've never heard before. Hello Mike!

I've always believed that the unofficial reason it was called 24 weekend was because of the large amounts of alcohol that will doubtless be consumed on campgrounds across the province.
