Thinking about putting on your own fireworks show? Whether it’s for a birthday, holiday, or special celebration, a well-planned display can leave a lasting impression. At Elevated Fireworks, we’re here to help you light up the night the right way — safely, legally, and with serious wow factor.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to planning the ultimate firework show.

🗓️ Step 1: Choose Your Date & Location

Timing is everything. Be sure to:

  • Check the weather forecast
  • Avoid high winds or dry conditions
  • Choose a clear, open space (like a backyard, field, or cul-de-sac)

Make sure your launch zone is far away from trees, power lines, homes, and flammable materials.

📋 Step 2: Check Local Laws

Every city and county has different rules. Before you buy:

  • Check if fireworks are legal in your area
  • Confirm if you need a permit for large displays
  • Follow all noise and time regulations

At Elevated Fireworks, our staff can help guide you based on your zip code.

🧨 Step 3: Pick the Right Fireworks

Create a mix of effects to keep your show exciting. For example:

  • Start with fountains and sparklers to build anticipation
  • Use 500g cakes and NOABs for high-impact bursts
  • Include missiles, rockets, and spinners for variety
  • End with a grand finale set or pre-loaded shells

🧯 Step 4: Prep for Safety

Safety is key. Always:

  • Keep a hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher nearby
  • Designate a lighting zone and spectator zone
  • Use a firm, level launch base
  • Never allow children to light fireworks

And remember: never try to relight a dud. Soak it in water and discard it.

🎆 Step 5: Rehearse Your Show Order

Know your firing sequence! Lay out your fireworks in order before showtime, and use fuse connectors for a smoother performance.

Consider playing music in the background to elevate the mood.
