I was at the marina. Lots of people there. Some kids even brought a radio, but I don't think it was their own music - Forever Young by Alphaville and Take on Me - Aha. Not sure if that was the accompanying music.. don't think it was.. but it fit pretty good.

No it was not. The music that accompanied the fireworks was all Québécois. (Well, and one song by Acadian band Radio-Radio. Today is Acadia's fête nationale.)

My daughter and I watched them from the Plateau. They launched them right next to our house near the new library and Agora. It was neat to see other fireworks in downtown Hull in the distance during our show. I am really impressed with the vision of this fireworks show during Covid, we really enjoyed it.

I could actually see them quite well driving up Highway 417 from the Anderson Road exit towards Hunt Club

We watched from the north end of Tunney' Pasture, at the edge of the parkway. Got to see two launch sites at the same time.
