1. Why fireworks?
Fireworks bring people together in one place for one purpose which
helps to promote community camaraderie, spirit and patriotism.
It's the least expensive way to entertain thousands and even tens
of thousands of people. Fireworks sponsorship benefits include
consumer and governmental recognition and appreciation, which
will promote your public image and/or product awareness.

8. How big an area do we need to display the fireworks?
A fallout zone is needed to keep the audience a safe distance from
the location where the fireworks are fired. The size of the fallout zone
is determined based upon the size of the largest fireworks
shell displayed.

For an average program the minimum distance is a 500 foot
diameter fallout zone. For larger, state-of-the-art programs,
a diameter of up to 2,000 feet may be necessary for the
fallout zone.
