fireworks shows

Celebratory aerial bursts

Fireworks shows are organized displays of pyrotechnics, typically staged at night for public entertainment.

They mark celebrations like Independence Day, New Year's Eve, or the conclusion of sporting events and festivals.

The choreographed explosions of color and light are often synchronized to music: We watched the fireworks show from the rooftop.
