ÉDITION VANCOUVER: CELEBRATING A NATION

This Sunday July 1st Canadians everywhere will unite in pride for their country. Canada has become a nation known for its open-mind, cultural diversity, breathtaking scenery and peaceful nature. July 1st we celebrate Canada Day.

Throughout Vancouver there will be a series of events from morning to night, including concerts, dancing, exhibitions and fireworks. The main hub for the festivities will be Canada Place, our exhibition centre located under the giant sails that jet out over the cosy inlet. This spot is home to some of the best views of Stanley Park, the small bay and the North Shore mountains.

Once the sun sets, the annual fireworks extravaganza will crown the day's events. It takes place in English Bay so come early with some friends and have a picnic on the beach to ensure a good spot for the show. Dress warmly for at night and plan for large crowds and some walking once the show is over. For a more luxurious experience, watch the fireworks while on a dinner cruise around the bay.
