24th annual fireworks festival returns this summer with three new entrants representing the U.S., France and Japan. I would love to attend this in Vancouver. Maybe I will!

Jeez, why doesn't Toronto or any other town have something like this anymore? I remember the Benson&Hedges fireworks competition on the Toronto lake front, it was amazing and brought tons of people to Ontario Place.

We barely get it.. It used to be 4 nights of fireworks, but keeping the expensive sponsorship is difficult.
Really hope they keep it up. If there's a city to be jealous of, it's Montreal and the festival at Laronde.

There is supposed to be Oshawow (Oshawa International Fireworks Competition) show on Labor Day weekend but I dunno if it's goiing to happen as I have not seen much about it. Last year they were even selling tickets and had a facebook page but then the facebook page was taken down and the spot to buy tickets was removed. They do still have a website though oshawow.com/ |

For Oshawa, the idea was being backed behind a company that just lost the contract for canada day in that city. So, I'm assuming he has no interested in organizing that competition now.

The tobacco ban on advertising killed the sponsorship of the show. No one else picked it up. |

A stadium built for fireworks....it's a must go. Each show is 30 minutes. |

I have heard a rumor that there may be something special in store for the 25th anniversary of the Celebration of Light next year... I will have to dig a little further to see what I can find out, but sounds like they're trying for extra shows!
