Location: Vancouver, British Columbia

Treat yourself to amazing fireworks displays, incredible music, food and more! The Honda Celebration of Light competition begins promptly over English Bay at 10 pm each night. 

This is an international fireworks display by teams from around the world, which has also evolved into a cultural celebration wrapping in Snowbirds aerial performances (Jul 19, 23), food trucks and the Morton Park Festival Zone, as well as the title sponsor Honday Power of Dreams activity area.

Drone & fireworks displays

Three teams representing their country perform a 25-minute fireworks display set to accompanying music. The scheduled teams for this year are:

July 19  Yukon

July 23  Quebec

July 26  Nova Scotia

Each display will be judged on a number of things including:

  • sizing of the show
  • overall design and artistry
  • synchronization
  • originality of effects
  • quality of soundtrack
  • quality of fireworks

You'll also find a drone show each night. 

Tune in to hear the music simulcast of the show via CMFI Rock 101 here.

Viewing areas

There will be a separate holding area for personal watercraft such as kayakers, stand up paddlers, and row boats. This holding area is designed to allow paddlers to see the fireworks display at a safe distance and not be affected by factors such as wind, current, and power crafts. 

Tickets

The fireworks display on all three nights are free.
