Vancouver’s Celebration of Light #3

Fireworks performance by Brazil (Group Vision Show). The Celebration of Light (branded as the Honda Celebration of Light) is an annual musical fireworks competition in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The first “Symphony of Fire” was held from July 25 to August 5 of 1990. The celebration is one of Vancouver’s largest and most well known festivals. The 2012 event had performances by Vietnam (July 28), Brazil (Aug 1), and Italy (Aug 4). On November 25, 2025, it was announced that the event had been suspended indefinitely due to funding issues, including increased production costs and a loss of support from governments and sponsors.
