Each year, the event typically attracts a cumulative attendance of over one million people to the beaches, parks, and seawall surrounding English Bay over its three nights.
Over the past decade, the event has grown beyond its nightly 25-minute fireworks competition, with food trucks, activations, and on-site live entertainment beginning in the afternoon of each event day, and then culminating with free concerts before the fireworks.
