Celebration of Light
Vancouver's Celebration of Light is the largest firework competition in the world, attracting around 1.4 million spectators every year. In 2009, Canada, South Africa, the UK and China do battle during four nights of amazing displays over English Bay.
Each country presents a full display, with dates as follows; Canada on 22 July, South Africa on 25 July, the UK on 29 July and China on 1 August. Each show lasts about 25 minutes and local firefighters raise funds for the continuing festival and the Vancouver Fire Fighters Charitable Society.
The event is free to watch from public parks and beaches. The best places to watch are English Bay, Kitsilano, Vanier Park, Jericho Beach and West Vancouver.
