The streets aren't necessarily crowded/packed but there's parties everywhere and all the parties/shows will be busy.
Ah, to be blissfully Canadian... lol. Walk the beach that week (which sometimes resembles a Manhatten sidewalk) and try and get a flight out of the USA that's not double normal costs that week and you'd notice it then (plus there's more US rugrats around as well). But just an observation....Quote:

In the years I've been living here (yes, I'm pulling that card ;) )...February is without a doubt the busiest month with the beach being extra busy but not the street.
Now, the beginning of August has the most active week of the year and the street gets crazy packed in Negril!
very long ago Spring Break days were the best, circa 1995. Never seen anything like it since.Quote:

I'm sure alot of Canadians aren't aware of that (just like must in the US don't know about the Canadian thanksgiving or boxing day).Quote:

Gee wizz, Lisa had to ask me about this even though she went to school in the States...Quote:

Teachers Apprection week yes, Teachers Break no...
And it has always seemed to me that Canadians are much more well versed on our holidays than Americans are of theirs. :biggrin-new:
See you soon man!
I can’t really find any listings of much special going on.Quote:

Even when I was a kid we only got off one long break at Easter time but they've since split it into 2 one week breaks.Quote:

Some schools do a February break, or a March break, or an April break, or any combination of those. It depends on the SAU's calendar and teachers' contracts.
