Honda Celebration of Light performances
Listen to some great performances from 2 to 9 p.m. on each day of the Honda Celebration of Light.

It’s not all about the fireworks.

On July 28, August 1 and August 4, three countries vie to become the crowd favourite of the Honda Celebration of Light. South Africa, Sweden and South Korea have all designed displays that will fill you with a sense of love.

But there are other festivities to enjoy.

From 2 to 9 p.m. on each night, entertainment is planned at the park stage at Second Beach. You can find the line-up of entertainment here.

On August 1, there will be a special visit from the Canadian Forces Snowbirds who will fly over English Bay from 6:45 to 7:40 p.m.

English Bay is also the site of the Red Bull Air Show on August 1 and August 4. It includes three acrobatic divers who jump out of a plane and land in the water. It’s from 7:45 to 8 p.m. 

 

If you want to let the judges know which country deserves to win the fireworks competition, download the Honda of Celebration of Light mobile app to rate each team.

While gathering with friends and family for a picnic is always fun, you can also treat yourself to three choices of reserved seating: The Keg Lounge, The Concord Lounge and the YVR Observation Desk. Tickets are available here.

Fireworks begin each evening at 10 p.m. sharp.

You can find a comprehensive guide on the Honda Celebration of Light website.
