Quite a spectacular show and seemed to be a peaceful family event from our vantage point. According to the Vancouver Sun the crowds got noisier as the sun set and they poured out 500 containers of liquor. Not really much noise or activity around our area after it broke up and not a scrap of garbage to be seen this morning.
These kids were having fun doing their break dancing moves.
Fireworks taken from my iphone on our balcony.
Most condo and apartments had security laid on...ours had three people patrolling front and back.
Gardens in the area are protected by steel fences so you sort of feel like you're in a cage...
Crowds gathering and having fun playing games and eating.
Earlier in the afternoon loads of extra garbage cans were delivered as well as recycling areas which were manned by volunteers to make sure the right stuff went in the right places.
