Drumroll please.
Team Pyrotex Fireworx, representing the United Kingdom, has been named the winner of the 2024 Honda Celebration of Light fireworks festival.
The United Kingdom wrapped up the 32nd annual Celebration of Light fireworks competition Saturday night with a stunning performance that left everyone in awe. The UK team was honoured as this year’s winner in both the People’s Choice and Judge’s Competition Award, based on a tightly choreographed performance.
Team Macedo Pirotecnia, representing Malaysia, and Team Pyro Tact, representing Portugal were the other two participating countries.
“Every year, teams participating in the Honda Celebration of Lights reach new levels of creativity, and each team is a winner just by being invited to compete here in Vancouver,” says Kelly Guille, President of Archangel Fireworks Inc.
“However, Team Pyrotex from the UK presented a fireworks-display that truly captured the imagination of the hundreds of thousands viewing the performance. Their soundtrack, super-tight timing and show flow landed the trophy in their hands, and for that, they are the deserving winners.”

Throughout the fireworks festival’s three evenings, over one million attendees made their way to downtown and other surrounding areas.
“We would like to acknowledge the remarkable performances by each of the competing teams in this year’s Honda Celebration of Light – and thank the hundreds of thousands of people who lined the shores of English Bay to enjoy this magnificent event” says Michael McKnight, Co-Chair of the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society. “We also want to give a big shout-out to all of the staff, volunteers and sponsors, who continue to show unwavering support for the Honda Celebration of Light – and without whom this event simply wouldn’t be possible.”
The 2024 festival was truly a historic one with the premiere of an electric drone show and a 50/50 draw. The take home jackpot is $13,372.50 and the winner will be announced Friday at 10am.
