Fireworks at City Events



Have your say on fireworks at summer events

Take the survey and provide your feedback if fireworks should take place at summer events in 2026 and beyond.


At the November 17, 2025, Council meeting, the 2026 Special Events corporate report was brought forward to City Council, requesting direction for the use of fireworks at Canada Day by the Bay and the White Rock Sea Festival and Semiahmoo Days in 2026 and beyond. Council directed staff to create a survey on Talk White Rock for residents and visitors for their input.

While fireworks are a popular part of our annual celebrations, fireworks have also raised concerns related to traffic congestion and safety. Recognizing both the enjoyment and challenges fireworks present, City Council is seeking public input through a survey. Council will review and discuss the results at a Council Meeting in January and look forward to making a decision that reflects both the spirit of celebration and our responsibility to safety for residents and visitors.
