Tonight I witnessed my first Casino Lac Leamy’s Sound of Light show Ottawa-Gatineau. The show is an annual event that takes place through August. Representatives from different countries put on shows that combine music and fireworks over the Ottawa River.The different teams' performances are judged based on the musical playlist they select, the firework display, the variety of fireworks and so on. Tonight's show was put on by the team from Greece. Earlier performances were by Belgium and Spain and later this week will be Venezuela and then the Grand Finale.
Viewing takes place at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, just on the other side of the river from Ottawa and the Parliament building. Ariane and I arrived about an hour before the firework show started but festivities were going for at least an hour or two before that. There was music playing, and live performances of all kinds. We stopped briefly to watch some acrobatics before finding ourselves a nice piece of grass to settling in on for the show.
The show opened up with the Greek National Anthem and then it was firework time! Below are just a few examples of the amazing performance that we witness tonight! Also catch some of my video clips on YouTube!
Completely irrelevant to the rest of the show, I was quite pleased to see a Tom Brady jersey in the crowd! Patriots! There was a Red Sox hat out there too.
That is it for now, I thoroughly enjoyed this and we are going to try catch the other shows from different perspectives. Will share them if we do!
