For the first time in more than a decade, Vancouver will reinstate a yearly tradition by ringing in the New Year with a fully-inclusive and family-friendly countdown celebration to midnight. NYE VAN will be a free, public event that will include live music, multicultural programming and entertainment, and of course, fireworks! The event will utilize outdoor space at Canada Place and surrounding areas along Canada Place Way from Howe Street to Burrard Street.
Highlights of the inaugural NYE VAN celebration will include:
Please note the fireworks cannot be seen from English Bay or Spanish Banks. Additionally, fireworks viewing capacity and sight lines on Jack Poole Plaza and Harbour Green Park will be severely restricted. Guests are recommended to view the fireworks along the north side or the east promenade of VCC west, then Canada Place way from Burrard all the way up to the stage, including the west plaza of Canada Place.
The event will be live broadcast by Global TV between 11pm and midnight and the fireworks soundtrack will be simulcast on 102.7 The PEAK for your enjoyment.
