The Honda Celebration of Light has revealed the participating countries for its 2024 festivities: Portugal, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom.

“We are thrilled to once again have this spectacular festival and fireworks extravaganza in Vancouver,” shares Lana Popham, BC Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport, in a release. “This hugely popular event draws visitors worldwide and is a prime example of the world-class entertainment BC has to offer.”

There are plenty of pre-show activities to enjoy before the fireworks show, including an electric drone show at 9:50pm each night (10 minutes before the scheduled fireworks). While this event is free, reserving a seat or cabana at select viewing locations is also an option, ensuring you get an unobstructed (and fully licensed) view.

Here’s the fireworks competition schedule:

• July 20 - Portugal presented by team Macedos Pirotecnia
• July 24 - Malaysia presented by team Pyro Tact
• July 27 - United Kingdom presented by team Pyrotex Fireworx
