VANCOUVER, BC – Headlining this month’s Northern Lights Display schedule is a confetti celebration illumination, as BC Place pays tribute to the graduating classes of 2023 on June 11 and 12.
Also coming this month is an orange display for National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, celebrating the heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
BC Place is showcasing a multicolour show on June 27 in recognition of the various cultures that bring the country’s society to life for Canadian Multiculturalism Day.
A display of Pride Flags closes out Pride Month on June 28. The day marks the anniversary of the start of the Stonewall riots, a movement for gay liberation that began after a police raid at a gay bar located in New York City.
