That is why Concord's New Year's Eve Vancouver will include a Family Fireworks celebration option, an early countdown event that coincides with the East Coast's midnight countdown. Families with children can celebrate Family Fireworks, which includes a burst of fireworks from the offshore barge in the middle of Coal Harbour beginning at 9 pm.
Midnight Countdown Fireworks: Fireworks will erupt from a barge over Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver at the stroke of midnight to properly mark the arrival of 2017 in the West Coast. The spectacular high-aerial 10-minute pyrotechnics display will be synchronized to music. A countdown to midnight will precede the fireworks.
Fireworks Viewing Locations
The fireworks will be launched from a barge in Coal Harbour just west of the Canada Place pier. The best community viewing locations are:
- RE/MAX Family Zone at Canada Place (Ticketed)
- Outdoor Fireworks Viewing Zone at the Vancouver Convention Centre North Seawall (Ticketed)
- TRUE NORTH Party and TRUE NORTH VIP Party at the Vancouver Convention Centre (Ticketed)

- Stanley Park Seawall facing Coal Harbour between the Rowing Club and 9 O'Clock Gun
Important: Please note the fireworks are not viewable from English Bay and Kitsilano.
Radio Simulcast
The countdown to the stroke of midnight and the midnight fireworks are best experienced with the synchronized music. Listen to the live radio simulcast of the fireworks soundtrack at 102.7 The PEAK FM and 93.7 JRfm.
