Cool facts
Colorful sky bursts. Fireworks work by combining special chemicals that burn at different temperatures to create amazing colors, red, blue, green, and gold all light up the night sky.
Controlled explosions. Fireworks are low explosives, which means they're designed to create light and sound effects rather than cause damage, making them safe entertainment when handled properly.
Party centerpieces. Fireworks displays are the highlight of many celebrations around the world, from New Year's Eve parties to national holidays and religious festivals.
Need careful handling. Even though fireworks are fun, they can be dangerous if someone isn't trained to use them, which is why professionals manage big displays and kids should never handle them alone.
