Vancouver’s biggest summer event is coming back with a bang, as the Honda Celebration of Light returns to English Bay in July.
The fireworks festival, which is the province’s biggest public event, will happen on the nights of July 22, July 26, and July 29, and see more than 400,000 people watch the sky each evening.
The three-night event is the longest-running fireworks competition in the world and is owned by the volunteer-run Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society.
Last year was the festival’s return after a two-year COVID-19-induced hiatus.
The 30th year of the festival saw Team Canada beat out Japan and Spain, with Yukon-based Midnight Sun Fireworks wowing the crowd on July 27 in their festival debut.
The organization has yet to announce which countries will be competing this year, but we won’t have to wait long — they’re expected to be announced next Monday, April 24.
