Celebration of Light returns after pandemic shutdown
After a two year pandemic hiatus the Celebration of Light fireworks will return this July. Executive producer Paul Runnals joins Global News Morning to talk about what they have planned – Apr 14, 2022

The Honda Celebration of Light returns to Vancouver this year. The festival was shut down in the last two years due to COVID-19.

The celebration first started in 1990, and it is now considered as the longest-running offshore fireworks festival in the world.

It also includes an annual musical fireworks competition between three different countries. This year’s contestants have not yet been named.

“It’s been a long haul for everybody and there’s just such a pent up enthusiasm to be able to get out and start having these experiences,” Paul Runnals, the executive producer of Honda Celebration of Lights, told Global News Morning.
