Celebration of Light 2012
 

Welcome to the Honda Celebration of Light website! 2012 is a new year and with it brings a new Title Sponsor, new festivities and new participating countries!

Competing this year at the Honda Celebration of Light:

Vietnam: Saturday July 28th
Brazil: Wednesday August 1st
Italy: Saturday August 4th

There will be lots of fun activities happening each day before the fireworks begin. Head down to Sunset Beach around 2:00PM prior to the fireworks to enjoy live music hosted by SHOREfest, take part in sporting activities put on by Urban Rec, and watch cultural performances as a tribute to the countries participating in the Celebration of Light.

Keep checking back to the website for more information about the bands performing at SHOREfest, ticket updates and more activities to take part in! Don’t forget, this year you have the opportunity to vote for the country you feel put on the best firework display. All you have to do is revisit the website after the countries have performed, click on the “VOTE” button that will be on the home page, and cast your vote!

Once again, a huge thank you to all of our sponsors who fully support this not-for-profit, civic event!

VTEC just kicked in yo

Bump! Anyone here going?

Defts goin, RS meet would be awesome too on one of the days

I'll be going for at least one day like always

so who wants to guess which of the 3 days will rain?

Lol Honda. I wonder why HSBC decided to stop sponsoring. Will definitely be going at least once.

^ It's a bit of a well-known, but unspoken fact that HSBC is a bank that largely caters to a higher end client. Considering the majority of people who attend the fireworks are typical Joes and Janes, maybe they decided it wasn't the best way to promote their brand?

Honda, on the other hand, is losing the Joes and Janes (its bread and butter customers) to rivals like Hyundai.

Will be watching Italy from the EOC, otherwise not this year.

Have they cancelled the finale? I thought there were usually 4 shows in previous years.

comin up from kelowna for the 28th

I think HSBC is running into a lot of financial difficulties in US and Europe. They have been cutting staff left right and center.

They haven't had a finale in a few years now

I thought they had a finale last year :suspicious:

Up from Kelowna..?
