Queen's Birthday 2019 and 2020

The Queen’s Birthday is a holiday in the British Virgin Islands on the second Saturday in June.

Year	Date	Day	Holiday
2019	7 Jun	Fri	Queen's Birthday
2020	13 Jun	Sat	Queen's Birthday

Interestingly, the real birthday of Queen Elizabeth II is 26 April, but a June holiday is a longstanding tradition in many British overseas territories and Commonwealth countries.

On Queen’s Birthday, the governor of BVI ceremonially inspects the parading units, be they military, police, or civilian. And awards are given out to various “deserving individuals”.

As this holiday is always celebrated on a Saturday, it has little impact on the lives of most BVI residents compared to other holidays that fall on week days.
