Celebration of Light - More Fireworks

Since 1990, Vancouver has been home to the Celebration of Light. This is an international pyro-musical fireworks competition that has attracted the world’s leading fireworks designers and is seen as a highly prestigious event. The fireworks festival creates an exciting display where spectators enjoy the latest explosive techniques and the most innovative fireworks materials are used as different country teams compete to be crowned the winner. This was an event that we attended last year and really enjoyed, especially as it was free!

After work and a dentist appointment for me, Nancy and I wandered up to English Bay to sit on the seawall with the ocean waves lapping at our feet and the smell of hash in the wind. Tonight it was the turn of the USA team to impress and attempt to win the fireworks competition. This was no ordinary fireworks display due to the scale, number of fireworks, noise and sound track plus the huge number of onlooking boats and yachts in the Bay. Great spectacular for no cost!
