For the first time ever, the Honda Celebration of Light will feature an electric drone show – adding an exciting new element to each evening’s performance when the longest running offshore fireworks competition takes place July 20, 24 and 27.
Each night at approximately 9:50 pm attendees can watch a dazzling choreographed drone display light up the sky over English Bay.
The performances will feature 200 drones and will be conducted under a special flight operations certificate issued by Transport Canada, ensuring safety and compliance. Drones are each capable of displaying millions of colours, and will perform in tightly choreographed formations, creating complex geometric shapes, logos, and images that will dance against the night sky’s black backdrop.
At 10:00 p.m. each night the fireworks will begin from barges located in English Bay. Music simulcasts can be heard on CFMI Rock 101. The winning team will be announced on Wednesday, July 31.
The event welcomes back the Red Bull Air Show, a spectacular pre-show performance happening on all three festival nights at 7:40 pm.
