Fireworks Cruises at Ontario Place

The best fireworks displays in Toronto are always at Ontario Place. And the best seats in the house are not seats in the house at all. They are out on the water aboard fireworks cruises that provide a unique vantage point and a bird’s eye view of the dazzling pyrotechnics. Public, private, and shared fireworks cruises are available for the Victoria Day fireworks and the Canada Dry Festival of Fire fireworks.

Victoria Day, the official celebration of the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth ll, was established as a national holiday in Canada in 1901. For most of us, Victoria Day is the unofficial start to the summer and best of all, we get a long weekend. Celebrate the start of summer on a fabulous Victoria Day Fireworks cruise on either Sunday, May 18th, 2008 or on Monday, May 19th, 2008. The fireworks at Ontario Place will begin at 9:30, but the party begins the moment that you board. 

Canada Day, celebrated on July 1st, commemorates the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada. We know it best as Canada’s birthday and it is traditionally celebrated with fireworks. The Canada Dry Festival of Fire, a magnificent international show of pyrotechnics choreographed to music, takes place around and on Canada Day with South Asia, Latin America, and Canada participating this year at Ontario Place. Experience the excitement of the Festival of Fire on board a Toronto fireworks cruise on either:

Saturday, June 28th, 2008     South Asia
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008          Canada
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008        Latin America
Saturday, July 5th, 2008        Grand Finale

In addition to breathtaking pyrotechnics, every fireworks cruise features reserved seating, a magnificent hot buffet dinner, live DJ, and dancing under the stars. Make your reservations today.
