5 Ways to Enjoy Pyrotechnics This Summer

Summer and outdoor fun are two things that go hand in hand and nothing says celebration quite like fireworks. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply enjoying a beautiful summer night, fireworks add a touch of magic to any event. At Rocketman Fireworks, we want to help you make the most of these summer nights, so here are 5 ways to enjoy pyrotechnics this summer!

1. Celebrate Sporting Events With a Bang!

The summer of 2024 is looking like a busy one for sports fans. With the Euros and the Olympics going on this summer, here are some ways you can use pyrotechnics to enhance your celebrations.

• Smoke Flares: Represent your country’s colours with smoke flares. We offer a wide range of colours including white, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, black, pink and purple. Kickstart these competitions by enjoying smoke flares before watching the games. Please keep in mind the UK guidelines when it comes to smoke flares and do not bring them into any sporting arenas as this is illegal. View the UK fireworks law here.
• Fireworks & Sparklers: Many of you will be attending parties or going around with families or friends to watch these sporting events. Why not celebrate a win with some fireworks or sparklers? Create your own backyard display by using a mixture of Roman candles, rockets, cakes or compounds and fountains.

2. Enhance Summer Parties or Gatherings

Pyrotechnics are a fantastic way to elevate your summer gatherings, making ordinary parties, extraordinary. Here’s how you can integrate fireworks into your events:

• Birthday Celebrations: Surprise your guests with a personalised fireworks display. Make the birthday honouree’s day by lighting up the night sky just for them.
• Graduation Parties: Celebrate the academic achievements of family & friends with a garden firework finale. Customise your show to incorporate their favourite colours to add a personal touch.
• Weddings & Anniversaries: Add a romantic flair to weddings and anniversaries with a fireworks display. This could be a professional display from Rocketman Fireworks or a self-ignite box. Fireworks create a magical moment for couples and guests alike.

Using fireworks as the highlight or finale of your party ensures it will be memorable for attendees.

3. Host a Community Fireworks Night

Fireworks have a unique ability to bring communities together. Hosting a community fireworks night can foster local spirit. As well as this, it can provide an unforgettable experience for all ages. Here’s how to make it happen:

• Organize a Local Event: Collaborate with local businesses, schools or community organisations to sponsor a fireworks night. This can be part of a larger event with food stalls, games and live entertainment.
• Fundraising Events: Use a fireworks display to cap off a charity event or fundraiser. Sell tickets or accept donations to support a good cause while providing a spectacular show.
• Gatherings: Get together with neighbours for a more intimate community event. Potluck dinners and shared activities, followed by fireworks. This will make for a perfect, fun, social summer night.

Community fireworks not only provide entertainment but also strengthen bonds among local communities.

4. Enjoy Fireworks by the Water

There’s something particularly magical about fireworks reflected on the water. Whether by a lake, river, or ocean, a waterside fireworks display can be a breathtaking experience. Consider these options:

• Beach Bonfire & Fireworks: Combine the classic beach bonfire with a fireworks show. As the fire crackles and the waves lap up the shore, the fireworks will make for a stunning backdrop for the evening.
• Boat Fireworks: If you have access to a boat, watching fireworks from the water can be a truly surreal and unique experience. Anchor in a safe spot and ensure there are the fireworks are placed in a safe location on the shore. Then have somebody stay on shore and light the fireworks.

Although these options aren’t going to be accessible to everybody, these can be some of the most unique ways to enjoy pyrotechnics. Fireworks by the water can create a visually stunning and peaceful setting for summer relaxation.

5. Attend Professional Fireworks Shows

Sometimes the best way to enjoy fireworks is to leave it to the professionals. Many towns and cities host large fireworks shows that are truly spectacular. Here’s how to find these events:

• Festivals & Fairs: Many summer events such as festivals and fairs conclude with a fireworks display. These events are the perfect day for enjoying activities, food and music followed by a dazzling display.
• Theme Parks: Many theme parks offer nightly fireworks displays throughout the summer. These professional displays are some of the most impressive you’ll see. Some of these theme parks include Alton Towers & Gillivers World Resort.
• Ask the Professionals: If you are wanting to find out details about professional displays, get in contact with professional companies to see where they next are. At Rocketman, we are trying to build up our calendar with more professional displays, so get in touch and see where we next are.

Attending a professional display guarantees a high-quality experience with bigger shell fireworks that cannot be replicated by the general public.
