Honda sponsors celebration of light

A few years back, it was in jeopardy.

But organizers say a popular downtown Vancouver fireworks display is safe for three more years, with a brand new title sponsor.

Honda Canada has signed on to sponsor the celebration of light for the next three years.

With the announcement comes a huge sigh of relief from event organizers, who just a few years back were sending off alarm bells about possible event cancellation.

This year, three new countries will participate in the fireworks competition, including Brazil, Italy and Vietnam.

Around 400,000 people attend each show of the three-day event, which this year will take place on July 28th, August 1st and August 4th.
