Get ready to brighten those summer evenings with the Honda Celebration of Light. Three countries will take the stage, er barge, this July and August with their music-infused pyrotechnical performances.

  • Saturday, July 27th, 2013 – United Kingdom
  • Wednesday, July 31st, 2013 – Canada
  • Saturday, August 3rd, 2013 – Thailand

Before the shows on July 31st and August 3rd, look to the sky over English Bay for Pete McLeod and his single-seat Red Bull Air Race plane. In 2011 McLeod wowed the crowd with his aerial acrobatics waiting for the fireworks. You can read more about this ace on the Honda Celebration of Light web site.

The YVR Observation Deck is back for those who prefer having a seat to a spot on the sand or seawall to catch the illuminating explosions. Prices per seat are between $39.00 and $59.00 and help fund the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society. Tickets can be purchased online through the web site.

Each country will start their show at 10:00 pm PDT. Remember to come early to stake out a good spot.
