Ever notice how the best fireworks shows build suspense? Don’t just dump everything at once. Start small—maybe some ground spinners—then ramp up to screamers and finish with a jaw-dropping barrage. Last summer, I spaced out a 10-minute display, and the oohs and aahs kept coming. Time it right, and you’ll feel like a pyrotechnic maestro. Oh, and dusk is prime time—enough light to see what you’re doing, dark enough for the colors to pop.
