Vancouver's Celebration of Light 2010 - Night One

I love the fireworks, their brilliant multitude of colors, their amazing rhythms and choreography!

Yesterday was started Vancouver 2010 Celebration of Light  international fireworks competition and festival, four nights of the best fireworks you've ever seen.

The 2010 Celebration of Light fireworks competition celebrates 20th year in 2010. It runs in July 21, 24, 28, & 31 and cheers on United States, Spain and Mexico and China. The prime viewing points are southern side of Stanley Park, English Bay Beach, Vanier Park, Kits Beach, and Jericho Beach.

Last Night was the first show with electrifying atmosphere enjoyed by thousands of people.
 His theme was "In the Mood" according to VentureVancouver's Blog, or "a tribute to the Big Band era" according to Vancouver Sun.

I was going early there, to get a spot in the most popular viewing spot English Bay.

Initial seemed to be extremely crowded but I enjoyed seeing the people walking on streets, funny cars or Capoeira demonstration  on Davie street.


The show itself was spectacular if you get to listen to the accompanying music; it was like watching ballet in the sky, and it was truly spectacular that all the people come together to watch this amazing show in silence.

Sitting on the beach, watching the sunset, waiting for the sky to darken ... followed by the beautiful fireworks and music like "Mambo Italiano" and "You’re Nobody ’Til Somebody Loves You" was what brings the whole Vancouver city together.

It was amazing to see the fireworks light up the night sky while seeing the hundreds of faces light up with joy and happiness at the same time.

The Celebration of Lights is definitely one of the Summer highlights in Vancouver which turn this wonderful city into a truly mystical magical place to be.
