FAQs

Because every show has different specifications, we do not put a price on "an average show". We customize every show to fit each venues individual needs. Small shows can start at $5,000 and larger shows could exceed $30,000. The deciding factors in determining the cost of your show will be the size, quality and type of shells being used, as well as, the length of the show, electronic or hand firing, music and/or choreography.

15-20 minutes is the typical length of an average show. The key factors involved in the show length are your budget, or more specifically, how many firework shells/effects you are purchasing and the amount of time in between each. We will always recommend a shorter show duration time that has a steady firing of shells and effects over trying to extend the time by dragging out the show with lots of "black space" in between. We believe that the overall WOW factor of an expertly designed display is more important than how long it lasts.

The more time that we have the better your display will be. Some of our largest displays have given us up to two years of planning time: which allowed us to custom order and custom build fireworks to make a display that is incredibly unique and unforgettably spectacular. However, we have been able to provide displays with as little as 10 days notice, this can only happen if the authorities that issue permits are willing to issue permits with a lot less than the desired amount of notice. Typically completing the contract 3 or more months before the display date is desirable.

Fireworks can be safely fired from many locations, such as open fields, building tops, parking lots, bodies of water, etc. Although some locations are better than others, all locations need an area that can be secured to shoot the fireworks from, as well as an area for the audience. The basic rules include a minimum distance from the fireworks to the spectators, with smaller fireworks requiring less distance, and larger fireworks requiring more distance. Please contact us so that we can have one of our certified operators help you to select and evaluate your site.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulates via licensing the sale, possession, and transportation of firearms, ammunition, and explosives in interstate commerce. Class B fireworks, are rated as 1.3G explosives. Therefore you are required to have a ATF license if you want to purchase them. By law we are required to have a valid copy of this ATF license, with an original ink signature (we prefer blue ink) on file, before we can transfer ownership of the fireworks.

Check out our Guide to getting your ATF license or contact the National Licensing Center by Email - NLClicenseapplication@atf.gov, or call (304) 616-4400.
