Surprise fireworks light up Vancouver skies (PHOTOS)

Thunder? No. Crazy wind storm? No. Surprise fireworks show? Yes!

From time to time, private events at the Vancouver Convention Centre have fireworks displays, and when they do, Vancouverites go crazy for them.

Heads up – There will be a 10 minute private fireworks show near the Vancouver Convention Centre over Burrard Harbour beginning at 9:30 pm.

Sometimes when you think there’s gun shots in the streets it just ends up being a spontaneous fireworks show. @cayyleigh #vancouver #vancity #fireworks #canadaplace #view
