Sights & Sounds of Vancouver 2010: Ignite the Dream

Ventured back out into down town tonight after dinner to catch a light and music presentation called “Ignite the Dream”, that I read about during the day.

Billed as being “A spectacular and innovative evening show that will light up the sky…”, the show, which kicks off at 9:30pm and 11:00pm each night until the 28th February, certainly didn’t disappoint with the sky over Robson Square being lit up by spotlights, coloured strobes, fire, smoke, zip-lining skiers and snowboarders and more! All this is set to a fantastic home-grown soundtrack featuring the following tracks:

• “My So Called Life” – Jaydee Bixby
• “O My Heart” – Mother Mother
• “Raise A Little Hell” – Trooper
• “Amazing” – Andrew Allen
• “Love Myself Today” – Bif Naked
• “Bhangra Baby” – Dal Hothi
• “Sing, Sing” – Mariana’s Trench

For more information on events being held in the Robson Square district, take a look at the British Columbia: You Gotta Be Here website.

And to tie things off, here’s some video of the display that I found on YouTube. Gives you a bit of an idea as to what you can expect to see, and also shows the snowboarders etc flying across Robson Square on the zip line.
