Blast Media Print Achieves GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for Largest Flag Displayed on a Mountain
Blast Media Print Sets New Record with Largest Flag on a Mountain
In a remarkable feat of creativity and teamwork, Blast Media Print has recently clinched a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for the largest flag ever unfurled on a mountain. This monumental event took place on June 2, 2026, at Grouse Mountain, located just north of Vancouver, British Columbia. The flag, which is not only the largest Canadian flag ever made but also the largest flag to be displayed on any mountain worldwide, was officially verified by a Guinness World Records adjudicator the following day, on June 3, 2026.
The Historic Unfurling
The staggering dimensions of this record-setting flag are 160 meters wide and 80 meters tall, effectively covering an area equivalent to two football fields. Custom-designed and engineered specifically for mountainous conditions, the flag weighs approximately 3,400 pounds and is constructed from weather-resistant fabric, ensuring its durability even against the elements. This vital characteristic was particularly important considering the flag's visibility from various points across Metro Vancouver and even from incoming flights to the Vancouver International Airport.
In a celebration of national pride, the ceremony featured a heartfelt rendition of 'O Canada' performed by local musician Marie Hui. The event attracted considerable attention, marking a significant moment for both the company and the community.
Collaboration and Dedication
Achieving this ambitious goal required not only the expertise of the Blast Media Print team but intense collaboration with Grouse Mountain. In their hands, the logistics of deploying such a massive structure came to life, resulting in a spectacular display that astounded all who witnessed it. The flag's production involved assembling multiple sections, each printed in panels and stitched together, necessitating the coordination of over 100 individuals to safely unfurl it.
Allan Louie, the CEO and founder of Blast Media Print, expressed his personal connection to this achievement and the city of Vancouver. “I've lived and worked in Vancouver my entire life. This is my city,” he said. “As Vancouver prepares for one of the biggest international sporting events in its history, we wanted to create something that reflects the pride we have in this city and this country.”
Record Verification and Industry Impact
The significance of this record extends beyond the numbers; it represents months of meticulous planning, hard work, and unwavering commitment to excellence by the Blast Media team. As noted by Quinn Louie, Owner and Director of Operations, “The planning, precision, and refusal to back down from a massive logistical challenge are testaments to our team's dedication. Not a bad milestone for a print company from Vancouver.”
The completion of this project solidifies Blast Media Print's reputation as a leader in large-format printing and innovative visual branding solutions. As the flag proudly waves over Grouse Mountain, it stands as a symbol of community spirit and national pride.
