Nothing says “Happy New Year!” like lighting up the night sky with a breathtaking fireworks display. At Elevated Fireworks, we want to help you ring in the new year with style, safety, and unforgettable moments.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to planning the perfect New Year’s fireworks show, whether it’s for your backyard or your entire block.
🎯 Step 1: Define Your Show Goals
Start by asking:
- How many people are attending?
- Do you want a short finale or a full 5–10 minute show?
- Are you lighting them yourself or coordinating a timed show?
Knowing your goals will help you choose the right products and stay on budget.
💥 Step 2: Pick the Right Fireworks
We recommend a combination of these crowd-pleasers:
✨ Fountains & Ground Effects – Great for kids and smaller spaces
🚀 Rockets & Sky Spinners – Add height, movement, and sound
🧨 Repeaters (Cakes) – Launch multiple shots from one fuse
🎆 NOABs (Nine on a Board) – Perfect for finales
🎇 Sparklers & Novelties – Great for photo ops and countdown fun
💡 Pro Tip: Choose color-themed fireworks (gold, silver, white) to match the midnight celebration.
🗓️ Step 3: Shop Early
The holidays are a busy season for fireworks. Shopping early ensures:

Secure multi-shot items and mortar tubes with bricks, dirt, or a stable rack.
Have water or a hose nearby.
Never light near flammable decorations or alcohol.

Plan your show around your New Year’s countdown!
