Was there a better place to celebrate Canada Day 2008 than Vancouver?

The weather was perfect, the fireworks at Canada Place were breathtaking and the pandemonium at Granville Island was delightful for the nation’s 141st birthday.

Thanks to the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, revelers were treated to free musical performances by top-notch artists like the New Orleans Ale Stars. Dancers swung along to the tunes outside the bandshells erected by Apex Tents and theatre performers like the hilarious stilt-walking hockey players added to the festive spectacle.

Throw in a parade, free cake, beer gardens and great food at the Public Market and you had the ingredients for quite the birthday bash.
