FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
The winner of the 2018 Honda Celebration of Light has been announced.
After 1.2 million festival-goers flooded the shores of English Bay, Second Beach, and Vanier Park, the three-day festival concluded its 28th year.
This year, each competing team was required to incorporate the theme of ‘Love’ into its fireworks display, a theme voted on by the public.
Performing for the first time at the celebration, Team South Korea, represented by Daehan Fireworks Co., won the competition. And according to the competition’s judges, timing and sync along with the size and novel effects throughout the show made it a night to remember.
