Types of Fireworks for your McKinney Fireworks Show

December 13, 20242 min read

What is it that we love so much about fireworks? For most of us, we would probably say something about the loud noises and the brilliant visuals. Both of these things, however, can be pretty hard to understand just by reading product descriptions that are often filled with fireworks-ese jargon. To help you visualize what your McKinney fireworks show will look (and sound) like, here’s some helpful information about firework types and effects.

Common Firework Types

A fireworks type revolves around where the effect takes place. The primary two types are aerial and ground-based, but there are also several fireworks in a class of their own. Here are some short definitions and examples of the three main firework types:

  • Aerial Fireworks. These fireworks are launched into the air and explode, displaying their effects high in the sky. There are many different types of aerial fireworks. One popular option is firework cakes, a bundle of roman candles and/or aerial shells that are fused together and explode in a chain reaction.  

  • Ground-based Fireworks. These are lit on the ground and do not reach as high as aerial fireworks. Ground-based fireworks are much better suited for small spaces. Fountains are a popular type of ground-based fireworks that get their name from the shower of sparks they release when lit.

  • Novelty Fireworks. Novelty fireworks are all the other miscellaneous fireworks that do not strictly fall into the aerial or ground-based category. Sparklers are one example of this type. Sparklers are small and slow-burning fireworks that produces sparks and other effects.

Common Firework Effects

This is where things can get confusing. A firework’s effect is typically one word that helps us understand what a display will look and sound like before setting it off. Here is a list of the most common firework product descriptions. Refer to this next time to go shopping for the perfect fireworks package for your McKinney fireworks show.

  • Brocade: A classic aerial firework with an umbrella-shaped explosion and slow-falling spark trails. 

  • Peony: Spherical break of colorful stars that explodes evenly without a tail.

  • Chrysanthemum: Similar to peony, but with visible spark trails. 

  • Pistil: Spherical break of colorful stars with visible spark trails and an additional center sphere of stars. 

  • Strobe: Rapid flashes that create a shimmering effect.

  • Willow: Delicate, hanging trails resembling a willow tree. 

  • Nishiki Kamuro: Hanging trails with a dense burst and glittery trail.

  • Comets: Long, trailing sparks that can erupt into other effects. 

  • Crackle: Flashing lights and crackling sound.

When browsing fireworks, understanding these types and effects will be crucial for evaluating your options and choosing the right selection that will create the perfect McKinney fireworks show for your next holiday. With a bit of knowledge about fireworks effects under your belt, you’re ready to shop with confidence.
