2009 HSBC Celebration of Light – Canada
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 :: 11:56 pm
English Bay lights up the sky again this year with the Celebration of Lights fireworks show! Last year Canada won with a Godzilla theme, and this year they are trying to take the title again with “No Place Like Home” as the theme, featuring songs from the Wizard of Oz!
I must say, I loved the show, and towards the end got wowed when they made very good use of the colours of the rainbow to the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. If you search on YouTube there is a HD version of the complete show.
Enjoy!
