If you are new to buying fireworks, it can be hard to choose the right products for your celebration. With so many options on the shelves of firework tents and stores, it's difficult to know where to start, especially if you have never shopped for fireworks before. Creating an easy and safe firework experience will still allow you to have an unforgettable Fourth of July celebration. Many beginner-friendly fireworks are simple to use, produce incredible effects, and are great for the whole family or anyone with limited fireworks experience. 

Here is our one-stop guide for picking up the perfect beginner fireworks this year:

Fountains

Fountains are a great option for anyone who wants to view impressive effects without all the hassle of setting up a full fireworks show. Unlike aerial fireworks that launch into the sky, fountains remain on the ground and produce colorful showers of sparks into the air for everyone to enjoy. They are an ideal option for beginners because they are easy to light, accessible for family use, require low maintenance, and can be placed on a driveway or sideway.

Here are some of our best selling fountains that all beginners should check out:

Sparklers

Everyone loves a classic sparkler, and they've helped create Fourth of July memories for years. Sparklers come in a variety of sizes, effects, and colors, allowing you to personalize your experience.  They are a great way to kick off your night before lighting bigger fireworks, and are an amazing option for both kids and adults wanting to get in on the 4th of July fun. Sparklers are always a crowd favorite and should be a staple option in 4th of July festivities.

Smoke Bombs / Canisters

Smoke products are another fun option for the whole family, and they create vibrant clouds of smoke that rise into the air when lit rather than loud effects. Place these items in a safe and open area and stand back and watch the smoke plume into a colorful display. These smoke products come in both bombs and canisters, giving you plenty of different options depending on what colors and effects you might be looking for.

Here are some great smoke options we recommend:

Small Multishot Cakes

If you are ready to take your game to the next level, adding a few 200-gram cakes into your celebration could be a great way to add aerial effects to your show. These beginner-friendly cakes provide an easy way of lighting only 1 fuse that will send a preplanned launch of fireworks into the air. These cakes bring the aerial breaks and beautiful colors to your celebration without the intensity of the more powerful 500 gram cakes. When setting up your cakes, it is important to brace them on a stable and flat surface and also provide a larger launch area if you are thinking about adding this option.

Final Thoughts

Even if you're new to fireworks, you can still put together a fun and safe Fourth of July celebration. Whether you go with sparklers, smoke options, fountains, or decide to step it up with some smaller cakes, there are plenty of beginner-friendly options for you.
