Last night was the first night of Vancouver’s annual fireworks show, the Celebration of Light.
From my balcony I was able to listen to the accompanying music over Shore FM (104.3 MHz) and could see all the big fireworks over neighbouring condo buildings. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see the smaller ones, but at least there were plenty of big ones to entertain me.
The show lasted about half an hour and was hosted by Team USA. Their music selection was mostly jive and swing music. Overall the show was okay, but I have seen better fireworks shows. Perhaps I’ve just been spoiled by Calgary’s GlobalFest and the 2009 Edmonton Canada Day fireworks show that featured two 16-inch shells.
There’s 3 more shows coming up on the upcoming Saturday, Wednesday and the following Saturday, and I should have a good view for Saturday’s show from a friends BBQ at Jericho Beach.
