hey where is the best location to view the the fireworks without entering the downtown core??

Kits beach, across English Bay - but it's just as packed.

Cypress viewpoint isn't bad but after a while the smoke obstructs your view. also go early.

If you don't want to go down there, I saw that SHAW lets you watch off their On Demand section... not sure if it costs money, just noticed it on the fireworks website.

At 10 pm the fireworks will be broadcast live.
It’s only on SHAW TV July 26th, July 30th and August 2nd

The Honda Celebration of Light only on SHAW TV Channel 4.

wth i thought it was a fireworks display once a week -_-
I wanted to watch France :/

Was tonights fireworks really good compared to past shows? I havent attended them for a few years, just looked over the top half from my window, but I went tonight and it looked good.

France was very good tonight!

I thought France was mediocre. The music didn't match well with the fireworks. Hoping Japan is better on Saturday (anime music???)

Holy hell the cypress viewpoint is not the place to go to watch this.

I've never seen the viewpoint that busy before.

can't believe this incredible video only has 7k view
