Between additional proposed tariffs on Chinese goods (fireworks), the nation's 250th birthday in 2026, and limited availability, next year is going to present quite a few challenges for display companies.

If you are considering sponsoring a firework display in 2026, or are looking for a new vendor to perform at an existing event, we would be happy to discuss your needs, and give a quote that maximizes your budget. The sooner you can lock in a price, the less you will pay next year.

Feel free to reach out via messenger, or contact Josh at (336)-909-9362.

Major outdoor shows cost can cost thousands of dollars per minute on average, according to an industry estimate.

It takes a ton of time, training, and commitment to be able to do what we do, and these guys do so while working their day jobs, not to mention sacrificing enjoying the celebrations with their families
