Every November, hundreds pack into the blocks of Burrard St. between Nelson and Davie to catch a glimpse of the Lights of Hope — the light and fireworks show put on by St. Paul's Hospital.

This year was no different.

Following an hour of festivities, the show kicked off shortly before 7pm.

Hundreds lined Burrard St. in Vancouver to marvel at St. Paul’s Hospital’s Lights of Hope 🎇

After the lights switched on, the fireworks began. Vancouverites watched in awe as the pyrotechnic display lit up the night sky.

For nearly three decades, the celebration has taken place outside the hospital downtown, however beginning next year, it will move to the new site near Pacific Central Station, which is set to open in early 2027.
