At any point during the year, a trip down the local highway will reveal fireworks stands, waiting eagerly for their big holiday to come. The Fourth of July is the most popular holiday to launch fireworks and see firework shows in public places. But how can you get a very special pyrotechnics masterpiece in your neighborhood? Educate yourself about the different types of fireworks and how they can create such a magical show for your audience.

Firecrackers
Sometimes used as a generic term for all fireworks, firecrackers were invented and used by the Chinese as they were believed to scare off evil spirits. You can buy them in a variety of quantities, from a dozen to up to the one hundred dollar 20,000! There are hundreds of different types of firecrackers, all making a loud audible noise that you often hear in professional firework shows.

Roman Candles
A popular choice, Roman Candles are single tubes that fire many shots one at a time. With different visual effects, some shots can produce the star shape, a flash, an explosion, or even a whistle! Ranging from about 75 cents to around five dollars for the basics, Roman Candles are an affordable choice for your celebration.

Please be safe if you are setting off fireworks! A 3rd degree burn is not a fun thing to have for the rest of your summer vacay.
