FAQs
The following is a list of frequently asked questions.
Fireworks Displays
How much does an average show cost?
Because every show has different specifications, we do not put a price
on "an average show". We customize every show to fit each venues individual needs. Small shows
can start at $5,000 and larger shows could exceed $30,000. The
deciding factors in determining the cost of your show will be the size, quality and type of shells
being used, as well as, the length of the show, electronic or hand firing, music
and/or choreography.
How long is the average show?
15-20 minutes is the typical length of an average show. The key factors involved in the show
length are your budget, or more specifically, how many firework shells/effects you are purchasing
and the amount of time in between each. We will always recommend a shorter show duration time
that has a steady firing of shells and effects over trying to extend the time by dragging out the
show with lots of "black space" in between. We believe that the overall WOW factor of an expertly designed
display is more important than how long it lasts.
How far in advance should we start planning for a show?
The more time that we have the better your display will be. Some of our largest displays have given us
up to two years of planning time: which allowed us to custom order and custom build fireworks to make a display that
is incredibly unique and unforgettably spectacular. However, we have been able to provide displays with
as little as 10 days notice, this can only happen if the authorities that issue permits are willing
to issue permits with a lot less than the desired amount of notice. Typically completing the contract 3 or more
months before the display date is desirable.
What do you need to know about the shooting location?
Fireworks can be safely fired from many locations, such as open fields, building tops, parking lots,
bodies of water, etc. Although some locations are better than others, all locations need an area that
can be secured to shoot the fireworks from, as well as an area for the audience. The basic rules include a
minimum distance from the fireworks to the spectators, with smaller fireworks requiring less distance,
and larger fireworks requiring more distance. Please contact us so that we can have one of our certified
operators help you to select and evaluate your site.
Will there be an inspection of the launch site?
Yes. In order to plan a safe display best suited to your location, ACE Pyro will visit your site before the show to view the lay of the land and measure distances between the show set-up area and the crowd line.
What about permits?
ACE Pyro will take care of getting all the permits needed for your show.
What kind of insurance is needed?
ACE Pyro has liability insurance that covers both the company and the sponsor as an additionally named insured.

Why do I need an ATF License?
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulates via licensing the
sale, possession, and transportation of firearms, ammunition, and explosives in interstate commerce.
Class B fireworks, are rated as 1.3G explosives. Therefore you are required
to have a ATF license if you want to purchase them. By law we are required
to have a valid copy of this ATF license, with an original ink signature
(we prefer blue ink) on file, before we can transfer ownership of the
fireworks.
Check out our Guide to getting your ATF license
or contact the National Licensing Center by Email -
NLClicenseapplication@atf.gov, or call (304) 616-4400.
