The Celebration of Light (branded as the Honda Celebration of Light for sponsorship reasons) was an annual musical fireworks competition in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The first "Symphony of Fire" was held from July 25 to August 5, 1990. The celebration is one of Vancouver's largest and most well-known festivals, and is recognized as the longest-running offshore fireworks competition in the world. The multiple-day event has an estimated annual attendance of 1.4 million people.

On November 25, 2025, it was announced that the event had been suspended indefinitely due to funding issues, including increased production costs and a loss of support from governments and sponsors. People around Vancouver expressed their sadness in a public outcry, and the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society expressed their wishes for the event to return with new sponsors, but stated that in a statement this was unlikely.
