English Bay was once again crowded with hundreds of thousands of onlookers.

Police say it was a much busier night than Wednesday and they had to close the main beach early for safety reasons as it hit capacity.

Vancouver Police said overall it was a relatively quiet night.

“There were a few minor disturbances that our members were able to get a handle on before they became a bigger issue and a few arrests were made,” said Const. Tanie Visintin, a VPD officer.

“We had a few lost children that were separated from their families but it was a great night.”
