“Each of the participating teams should be congratulated for putting on a first-class performance, as evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive response from festival goers this year,” says Kelly Guille, President of Archangel Fireworks Inc. “However, Blue Peacock produced a fireworks display that was a masterpiece of colours, soundtrack, sequencing, and overall excitement and should be proud.”

Organizers say an estimated 1.3 million attendees watched the fireworks during the 3-night festival.

“We’d like to acknowledge the stunning displays by each of the competing teams in this year’s Honda Celebration of Light,” says Michael McKnight, Co-Chair of the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society.

“As we reflect on what was a truly marvellous three evenings of entertainment, we want to extend a big thank you to all of the staff, volunteers and sponsors who make this event possible – and we also want to thank the hundreds of thousands of people who continue to show their unwavering support for the Honda Celebration of Light.”
