HONDA CELEBRATION OF LIGHT
Saturday 10 pm , English Bay
The fireworks festival is back! This annual week long festival goes on three nights, and this Saturday is the first with Japan competing. The fireworks take place on the water in English Bay and can be seen from many view points. English Bay itself is always a zoo, but head to Kits Point or even all along Jericho and Spanish Banks to catch some of the action. 10 pm is probably late for a lot of kids, but this one is worth staying up for!
