Anvil firing (also known as anvil launching or anvil shooting[1]) is the practice of firing an anvil into the air with gunpowder.
It is a traditional event held in New Westminster to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday.[2]
In the United Kingdom, the term refers to a method of testing anvils.[citation needed] Black powder was poured onto the top of the anvil and ignited. If the anvil did not shatter, it was deemed safe to use.
