How to Create a Dazzling Fireworks Display for Your Audience

Did you know that neuroscientists believe that we like fireworks so much because they scare us? We like to feel fear, but only in small doses, and fireworks provide that perfect dosage for us!

Are you and your loved ones big fans of fireworks? If you would like to create a spectacular fireworks display for your loved ones and friends, using the best fireworks on the marketplace, then we have got you covered.

Read on for the best way to design a fireworks display that will razzle-dazzle the crowds. 

Purchase a Combination of Different Fireworks

When you go to the store to buy fireworks, you will want to choose a wide array of fireworks to ensure your fireworks display is dazzling. 

Some categories to choose fireworks from are:

• Size – large, medium, or small (depends on the size of your display area)
• Style of fireworks – rocket, fountains, or wheels

The more varied your fireworks show is, the more engaging it will be. Just like moviemakers vary the scene from moment to moment, to keep the attention of the moviegoers, you need to think in a similar strategic fashion. That way you can garner a lot of oohs and aahs from your audience. 

Make a Plan on Paper First

The next step when you design a fireworks display is to make a plan on paper first. You can use a large sheet of paper to do so.

Sketch out how your fireworks display will play out. Remember these key measures when planning out a fireworks display:

Don’t light too many of the same fireworks at the same time – give your audience time to appreciate each firework display.

Make sure you light up the smaller fireworks nearer to the display area and the larger ones farther away,

Mix up the fireworks display by lighting up some small fireworks, then some large ones, and then some medium ones,

Always end the fireworks display with the grand finale – the biggest and most dazzling fireworks you have on hand, like Mystical Fire. You could even make your own fireworks, depending on your favorite colors and styles.

Have some fireworks that are lit up and played by hand, so the young ones are engaged and have fun as well

With these tips in mind, you can sit down and create the best fireworks display for your loved ones, one that will be remembered for ages to come. 

Choose the Display Area with Care

Maybe your family is lucky and has a huge backyard where lighting up fireworks would be a cinch. Or you might live in the suburbs or in the countryside where there’s lots of open space for fireworks to be lit up without disturbing your neighbors. In that case, you don’t have to worry when choosing a fireworks display area.

But if you aren’t in such a situation, then you will need to make sure you choose a display area that’s big enough and safe enough for all the fireworks to be lit up without issues. You don’t want the guests to end up with burns on their face or arms, because they were trying to get away from large fireworks that were lit too close to them. 

Get Set Up in Daylight (Don’t Leave It until Dark)

If you are a newbie at setting up firework displays, you will want to set up while it’s still light outside. Put out all the fireworks in place, and make sure the display area is neat, so no one trips while handling fireworks.

Don’t wait until it’s dark and time for the fireworks display to be lit, to start setting up. Then you might end up stumbling or tripping over your fireworks, or other obstacles that weren’t cleared up in time. 

It’s also a good idea to keep an idea of the weather reports so that you don’t end up with wet fireworks, if you leave them out, ready to go, and the rain comes pouring on them.

You also need to keep your fireworks safe from wild animals, insects, and other such critters. You don’t want them nibbling away on your best fireworks and ruining such an expensive collection. 

Make Sure to Practice Safe Fireworks Habits

No matter if you are an old hand at setting up a spectacular fireworks display or if you have never done it before, there are some safe fire habits to follow when lighting them up. 

Make sure you always keep fireworks away from someone else’s face and body. Don’t ever point lit fireworks at someone’s face; always point it towards the sky or the ground. 

You can even purchase some cheap plywood to protect your display area so it protects the ground and prevents it from catching on fire, from a stray firework spark. If any fireworks fail to go off immediately, then wait 2 minutes and then douse them with water to extinguish any remaining sparks. 

Be especially careful if you have children around when lighting up a fireworks display. Make sure to keep them away from any large fireworks, and school them on the importance of fire safety repeatedly. 

Finally, make sure your guests stay at least 15 meters away from the display area at all times. 

Create the Best Fireworks Display for Your Loved Ones

If you wish to create a fireworks display that is so epic that your guests talk about it for years on end, then you need to buy and use the best fireworks on the market. It’s easy to skimp on this, especially when some of the higher-end fireworks can be exorbitantly expensive. But it’s worth it when you see the final display they create.
