Why Fireworks Still Own the Big Stage
From stadiums to riverfronts, fireworks remain the most reliable way to unify a crowd. They’re visible, emotive, and create a perfect finale for sponsors, families, and media.
Compliance You Can Trust
We’re licensed, insured, and NFPA-compliant. Our team brings 30+ years of combined experience to site surveys, fallout calculations, product selection, crew management, and secure cleanup.
Permits & Lead Time
Ideal lead time: 60–120 days before your event
We handle: permit paperwork, site plan, product list, insurance COIs, and liaison with local officials & fire marshals
You handle: event date, site access, and community notifications (we’ll help with templates)
Safety Zones (What They Mean for Your Site Map)
Fallout and clearance: We calculate distances based on effect size and wind plans
Buffering the crowd: Fencing or staffing keeps spectators out of restricted zones
Plan B wind/rain: Adjusted angles, effect changes, and hold-and-go timing for weather
Sound, Wildlife, and Neighborhood Considerations
We’ll advise on low-noise product mixes, show timing, and directionality to respect wildlife habitats and nearby neighborhoods, while preserving visual impact.
