What the ‘76 Team Would Buy for the 4th of July
Jun 30th 2025
Ever wonder what fireworks the pros would pick? We live and breathe fireworks at the 76 Retail Tent and when it comes to our own backyard shows, we’ve got our personal favorites. Whether you're putting on a small family display or a blow-the-block-away backyard finale, here are the top staff picks we’re loving this year:
Power of Pink
“The Firework That Gives Back”
Not only is this one of the most visually unique (and pink) fireworks we carry, but it's also one that supports a great cause. Power of Pink is a 350-gram, 25-shot showstopper with radiant pink peonies and shimmering glitter. And best of all? $10 from every sale supports Breast Cancer Awareness organizations.
If you want your fireworks to have meaning as well as sparkle—this is the one.

Desert Heat
“Explosive Elegance from the Southwest”
This one has become an instant classic among our crew. Desert Heat features bold brocade bursts and colorful peony blooms that light up the sky like a mirage at sunset. The crackling chrysanthemum finale adds the perfect dramatic ending.
If you want something that feels like a full desert thunderstorm in a box—Desert Heat delivers.
America’s Saturday Night
“Your All-American Crowd-Pleaser”
This 36-shot cake is packed with variety, and that’s exactly why we love it. From whistling tails to gold flying fish to colorful comets, every shot feels like a surprise. The pacing is perfect, and the finale ties everything together with a bang.
We often recommend this to customers who want one firework that feels like six different shows—and we proudly fire it up in our own driveways. Click here to shop America’s Saturday Night!
6 Dos Bombas – Double-Break Canisters
“Twice the Boom, Twice the Fun”
If you're a fan of artillery shells, 6 Dos Bombas should be at the top of your list. These double-break canisters pack two effects per shell—meaning you get twice the action with every shot. Expect dazzling combinations like brocade + strobe, dahlia + lace, and strobe + crackle.
They’re the kind of shells that get the crowd to look up twice. A guaranteed thrill for any backyard finale.
Why These Are Our Favorites
Each of these fireworks stands out for different reasons—emotion, effect variety, and visual beauty. But the common thread? They’re reliable, bold, and unforgettable. That’s why they top our shopping lists every year.
So if you're scrolling through page after page trying to decide what to get—take it from the folks who live this stuff year-round. These are the fireworks we’re taking home.
Happy shopping, and we’ll see you out there lighting up the sky.
