Celebration of Light 2010 Fireworks Photos: Team Spain
byLast night Team Spain dazzled a crowd of 500,000 at English Bay. The largest waterfront fireworks display of its kind in North America has made an impression in the photography realm as the Celebration of Light was featured today on the Flickr Blog.
We went down early to catch ShoreFest (free beach concert series) prior to taking our seats on top of the Bath House.
While News1130 reports that people weren’t as impressed as they were with Team USA’s performance, I definitely saw some fireworks that I had never previously experienced. They were big, bright, golden, and some went up, went down, then floated back up like ghosts.
Should you take any photos of the Celebration of Light fireworks on Wednesday (by Team Mexico) please feel free to add them to the Miss604 Flickr group.
Reminder: You still have until July 27th to enter to win prime viewing area seats for the fireworks finale. This includes two seats on top of the English Bay Bathhouse and a BBQ meal.

I actually preferred Spain’s performance over the USA’s. I loved how they used so many glittery fireworks 🙂
Couldn’t hear the music, but last night’s finale was unreal.
I preferred Spain’s performance over the USA’s too… It was perfect! I wasnt expecting to be that good!
Are there any family-friendly spots on English Bay away from rowdy crowds?
Drop dead gorgeous photos!
USA really sucked this year, they obviously can’t afford to be called back! It’s a tie between the great music and timing of Spain and the raw exuberance of Mexico!
1 – USA’s display was not up to par, with a very poor connection of the aerials to the music. And with such exciting music, how could it be so blah? There were moments, but overall it was a dud.
2 – Viva Spain! I was transfixed. Someone finally managed to perfectly match their aerial displays with their music. I loved it from the unique opening to the exciting end. I will remember this as one of my favorites since day one of the festivals.
3 – Mexico – From one of the best to maybe the worst ever. That was one big mistake, from the unexciting music down to the last little fizzles that popped up by mistake after the finale. Too much tequila on the barge?
4 – Finale – What happened to the music that was used during nights 1,2 and 3? The USA’s dispaly was done to swing music, but we didn’t hear one swing song in the finale, which was very soft, but I think it was Chinese music throughout. Very strange to combine that with exuberant explosions that had nothing to do with the music. At least Spain’s aerial display was good enough to overcome some of the least exciting music ever in a finale.
Score this year: 3 duds, 1 winner. Viva Espana!
