The 15-minute show, called Illuminate, is a collaboration between Casino Lac-Leamy's annual Sound of Light competition and the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival.
With both events cancelled this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, organizers came up with a new idea.
'When we realized that our event could not take place in its usual form, I wanted to imagine an out-of-the-ordinary alternative that would make an impression,' said Marc-Antoine Massicotte, president and CEO of the Casino Lac-Leamy Sound of Light.
Beginning at 9 p.m., fireworks will blast off from eight sites across the National Capital Region, lighting up the sky from east to west.
Massicotte told Ottawa Morning the idea is to take the show to the people, whether they're watching from their porch, backyard or balcony, and avoid drawing a big crowd to one central location.
If you like a little music with your fireworks, Quebec's Royal Pyrotechnie will provide a soundtrack 'of happiness and hope' via Rouge FM, on your radio or online.

The Casino du Lac-Leamy (formerly the Casino de Hull) is a government-run casino in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
The casino was opened on March 24, 1996 in the former city of Hull, Quebec, the third of a group of casinos built by the provincial government to raise funds. Ottawa, the larger city across the river, was also planning to build a casino in the early 1990s, but these plans were blocked by the provincial government. The Gatineau casino thus also serves Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. It is operated by Société des casinos du Québec a subsidiary of Loto-Québec. In 2016 the casino provided the government with some $244,679,000 in profit, employed more than 1,400 people and attracted more than two and a half million visitors.[2]
The casino is built on a rocky precipice over what was once International Portland Cement Company quarry but is today Lac de la Carrière. This lake is home to a large fountain, whose jet is visible through much of the old Hull sector during the summer. To the east of the casino is Lac Leamy, from which it gets its name. Attached to the casino is a 349-room Hilton hotel. The casino also has an 1100-seat theatre that has become one of the region's main music venues. The casino is also home to several bars and restaurants. In the casino itself there are more than 1,800 slot machines and more than 65 tables including roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps and Texas hold 'em poker. It is open 24/7.
