Event Information:
In
Canada, New Year's traditions and
celebrations vary from region to
region. Generally, New Year's Eve
(also known as New Year's Eve Day or
Veille du Jour de l'An in French) in
Canada is a social holiday. In major
metropolitan areas such as Toronto
and Montreal, major celebrations
with music and fireworks are often
held at midnight. Other common New
Year's Eve celebrations such as
late-night partying are also major
events in these cities and other
places around Canada. In some areas,
such as in rural Quebec, people ice
fish and drink with their friends
until the early hours of January 1.
Vancouver New Year's Eve celebration
options come in a few different
forms. You can throw your own party
with friends, perhaps at a spacious
rental home with ample room for
entertaining. You can also purchase
tickets for any number of private
parties, many of which are held at
downtown area clubs and bars as
Vancouver has a pretty good
nightlife scene. Thanks to the
maritime setting of Vancouver,
residents and visitors can also
consider enjoying a New Year's Eve
cruise. Taking in the city's
beautiful skyline from a boat while
you ring in the New Year with other
revelers can be a wonderful and
unique way to bring in the New Year.
There aren't any large Vancouver New
Years fireworks celebrations for the
general public, though you are
likely to see fireworks lighting up
the sky at some point once midnight
approaches.
