With Bard Fireworks Nights, you can take in two of Vancouver’s most iconic summer spectacles in one unforgettable night out!  

Arrive early and enjoy a picnic (available to purchase through us or bring your own!) then revel in the dazzling, Technicolor world of Diana Donnelly’s Twelfth Night or the knee-slapping hijinks of Rebecca Northan’s The Comedy of Errors, before enjoying an included dessert buffet from Emelle’s Catering and settling in for private view of the show-stopping Celebration of Light. We’re hard-pressed to think of a better place in the city to watch the fireworks—but don’t take it from us! Read on to hear from some of our Bard community about what makes Bard Fireworks Nights so special. 

“A great Shakespeare show, [a] wonderful view for the fireworks… and to top off the evening, great desserts!” Raymond G., Volunteer 

“Fireworks Nights at Bard take viewing to the next level! We welcome patrons to a more intimate setting to celebrate three nights of pyrotechnic splendour. As a Bard volunteer, I have the privilege of being part of a tremendous team of staff and volunteers working to prep our site—lots of work plus lots of fun. Everyone is on top of their game and the vibe is intoxicating. The best part is sharing the splendour of the fireworks.” —Joyce G., Volunteer 

“I love volunteering at the Bard Fireworks Nights. It has become a yearly tradition for me to enjoy this night with Bard. The atmosphere of the whole night has this wonderful, fun, and uplifting energy, from the spectacular shows, to the fireworks viewing area and Bard treats, to the fireworks themselves, and of course thanks to all the people (staff, volunteers, and patrons). I wouldn’t want to have a midsummer without it.” —Rachel R., Volunteer
