Wow, I can't believe it's been 20 years when I was a kid and a friend of mine told me there was some kind of fireworks thing going on at "the beach in downtown." While we found our way there the first time, we didn't know how to get home. A homeless man outside the Macs Convenience store on Denman (now a 7-Eleven) actually got us a cab and gave the driver $20 bucks to drive us home. I figured out how the buses worked after that.
This year's dates are a little different as the fireworks competition used to always be held on the last Wednesday and Saturday of July and the first Wednesday and Saturday of August.
2010 dates:
July 21: USA
July 24: Spain
July 28: Mexico
July 31: China
And I still prefer the name (Benson and Hedges) Symphony of Fire over Celebration of Light.
