Sponsor the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society

The Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society is a non-profit society which produces the HSBC Celebration of Light, an international pyro-musical fireworks competition, which takes place over English Bay.

Created in 1990 as part of a corporate sponsored circuit of four international fireworks competitions, the Vancouver event was ‘saved’ when sponsored parameters changed in 2000 by the visionary leadership of representatives from HSBC Bank Canada, BC Hydro Power Smart and The City of Vancouver.

Considered ‘the best event of the summer’, the HSBC Celebration of Light fireworks festival is Vancouver’s signature event drawing audiences from around the world. Unique to Vancouver, the annual fireworks evenings are marked on annual calendars for planned holidays and entertaining when residents and visitors join together to experience Vancouver at its finest watching the best fireworks in the world on the beach on a summer evening. It’s free, it’s for families and it’s fun – a Vancouver tradition!
