Eyes up, Vancouver! The skyline will sparkle Light during the celebration of the three-show return from Light

One of the most dazzling summer traditions in Vancouver is back. This weekend the Honda celebration of light begins, lights up the sky and draws crowds to the West End and Kits Point for the world's largest fireworks competition.

From a historical point of view, the event brings the competition from all over the world with itself-this year the event celebrates local, local talents from all over Canada. The data and competitors are:

• Saturday, July 19 – Yukon

Public security continues to have our top priority. To ensure that this event remains a pleasant and safe experience for everyone, the city works closely with partners of the Park Board, the Vancouver Police Department, the Vancouver Fire Rescue Services and the Vancouver Emergency Management Agency.
