Premium viewing experiences now available for New Year's Eve Vancouver fireworks

If you don’t want to deal with the crowds at Concord’s New Year’s Eve Vancouver’s fireworks celebration, organizers are offering two varying premium outdoor fireworks viewing experiences for the event this December 31.

This year’s event ringing in 2017 features an expanded concert line-up and festival footprint compared to last year’s inaugural event attracting 80,000 people to the Coal Harbour area in downtown Vancouver.

Artists and bands playing at this year’s free street festival concerts include the Sheepdogs, Wintersleep, Crystal Shawanda, Meghan Patrick, Dan Davidson, and Spencer Burton.

There will be two fireworks displays launched from a barge anchored in the middle of Coal Harbour – a shorter Family Fireworks show at 9 pm intended for families with young children and a spectacular Midnight Countdown Fireworks show.

Expect everything from face painters to arcade games, plus carnival style food and beverages available for purchase.

Revellers within this Family Zone will also have in-and-out privileges to enjoy the rest of the festivities on the street, such as the two outdoor concert stages and over 20 food trucks on Canada Place Way.
