Victoria Day fireworks display at Ashbridges Bay set for night of Monday, May 18

The annual Victoria Day fireworks display at Ashbridges Bay this coming long weekend is set for the night of Monday, May 18.

Presented by the City of Toronto, the display will begin at 10 p.m. sharp and is expected to last approximately 10 minutes.

The fireworks display is visible all along the Boardwalk and the Eastern Beaches, and draws huge crowds to the area to celebrate Victoria Day.

Those planning on attending are urged to use public transportation or walk to the area.

Ashbridges Bay Park is located at 1561 Lake Shore Blvd. E. at the foot of Endaabiimok Avenue (formerly Lower Coxwell) at Lake Ontario.

Those attending the Victoria Day display are being reminded by the City of Toronto that it is illegal at all times for residents to light off personal fireworks on public property, including parks and beaches.

Fireworks are also prohibited on balconies, streets, parking lots, or property not owned by the person setting off the fireworks. On Victoria Day and Canada Day only, people can set off fireworks on their own private property until 11 p.m., according to the City of Toronto’s bylaw.
