Every year, Vancouver hosts this fireworks show in collaboration with three countries that send their best pyrotechnics to compete at the Celebration of Light. I only went to Mexico's showing, but as the Philippines won the competition, I wouldn't hesitate to say that all three nights of fireworks were spectacles.

All countries set their fireworks to a soundtrack that you can listen to on the radio or if you're nearby a stage, they will play it in real-time. Mexico chose standard pop music that wasn't all that special compared to my last time seeing the fireworks in 2018.

The fireworks themselves were what you expect from a national holiday fireworks event. They were big, bright, and beautiful. The show went on for longer than I anticipated but there was never a dull moment to be had. There was a certain style and colour palate chosen for each song which always captivated the audience's attention.
