Fireworks in Vancouver to celebrate Cirque's 30th anniversary (PHOTOS)

To celebrate 30 years of performances in front of over 150 million people around the world, Quebec-based Cirque du Soleil put on a fireworks show in Vancouver Saturday night.

The low-aerial show started around 10:30 p.m. at the Plaza of Nations on False Creek, just after their 8 p.m. TOTEM performance at the nearby blue and yellow Big Top tent.

Here’s photos and videos spectators shared from the show:

Thanks @cirque @cityofvancouver @VancityBuzz #fireworks #firstdayofsummer awesome – noise, smoke, debris couldn’t deter this pyro-enthusiast — AM Friesen (@amfriesen) June 22, 2014

Attempt to go clubbing, end up staring with childlike wonder at Cirque’s fireworks show instead. #priorities — Robert Hamaker (@GopherHamaker) June 22, 2014

 

Thanks for the lovely fireworks tonight @cirque! Got to watch from our condo. Great way to finish off the first day of summer. #Yaletown
