Q. How much does a fireworks display cost?

A. There are many factors that determine the final cost of a fireworks display. The location where the display will be held, the length of show, the type of devices used, the system in which the show is fired and the permit fees all account for the various costs in a fireworks display. Displays can range from $3,000 and up depending on your requirements. To get a quick idea of how much a show may cost, please contact us by phone or e-mail and have the following information ready.

Q. Why do some companies charge as little as $500 for a display while others charge $3,500 for a similar display?

A. You get what you pay for. In this industry, like many others, there are smaller companies who try to gain your business by cutting costs and offering extremely low prices. Often times they are not telling you the truth about what is included in their displays or they have hidden costs in their contract.

For example: All jurisdictions require a permit for a professional fireworks display. This permit is usually obtained from the county or city fire marshal. This permit may cost up to and beyond $500. If the display quote was originally $500, then you need to take a closer look because there is no way anyone would provide a "free" fireworks display.

The best advice we can offer you is to do your homework, ask as many questions as you need to and call around to other companies in the industry. Ask them for referrals or which company they would choose. Most of all use common sense. If you feel like someone is not telling the truth or they are avoiding something, then choose a different company. When it comes to having fireworks, a potentially dangerous form of entertainment if mistreated, you do not want to cut corners.

Q. How much room do I need for a fireworks display?

A. This once again depends on exactly what you want for your display. For close proximity effects, the distances begin at 50 feet and go up from there. For the full scale aerial shell displays, the distances begin at 250 feet and go up from there.

To be safe, figure in 100 feet for every inch of shell size. 3” shells =300 feet, 4” shells =400 feet... etc.

This distance is required for safety of all employees, surrounding property and the audience. The safe area must be clear of people, vehicles and buildings. The area does not have to be clear of trees and bushes but there obviously has to be enough room to set up and safely fire the devices. A free walk through with one of our site inspectors will quickly let you know exactly how much distance you have and exactly what devices can be used.

Exact distances required, what shell sizes that can be used and any other information concerning the display will be provided to you during the free site inspection by a safety engineer.

Q. What are close proximity fireworks?

A. These devices are smaller, but equally exciting, versions of fireworks you are used to seeing. They are manufactured to strict specifications that allow them to be used in close proximity to an audience and buildings. They can be fired from the roof of a building unlike normal firework shells. These devices burn cold and are what you normally see at sporting events, indoor celebrations and on stage at concerts.

Q. Do you provide insurance for the display?

A. Yes, we carry a $5 million insurance policy for every display
