Fireworks are bursting over Vancouver’s English Bay on Friday night, and residents and commuters are being warned of traffic impacts in the viewing areas. The City of Vancouver’s “Summer Lights in English Bay” on July 31, 2026, will help kick off both the B.C. Festival organizers also stated congestion and delays throughout the neighbourhood, as well as areas around English Bay and the downtown core, are expected. TransLink will deploy extra services to help meet the surging demand of crowds arriving and leaving the area in and around English Bay for the fireworks. Post-event service to West Vancouver and North Vancouver will also run from the intersection of West Georgia and Denman Streets.
