Demo Day Information
Registration opens January 11, 2025

Celebration Fireworks conducts an annual PGI Fireworks Training class to enhance safety and increase knowledge of field operations. It is followed by our popular Demo Day where we demonstrate our new products for the year.

PGI Fireworks
Display Operator Course

Every year we sponsor a PGI Display Operator Certification class.

What is PGI Fireworks Training?

Our PGI class is designed to provide current or aspiring fireworks professionals, as well as fire prevention and police professionals, basic fireworks display knowledge. It assumes no previous display fireworks knowledge or experience.

The PGI course includes:

classroom lectures
video presentations
live fire demonstrations
supervised hands-on live fireworks training
written final exam

The successful completion of this course along with adequate verifiable fireworks display experience qualifies one to apply for the PGI Display Operator Certification. Students are invited to help set up the evening demo display, and this counts towards the experience requirement for PGI certification.

This PGI Fireworks class may be taken by anyone 18 years of age or older with no criminal record.

The class cost of $99 per individual includes:

The latest 300-page PGI Display Fireworks Operator Certification Study Guide
Live pyrotechnic devices for the supervised hands-on training portion of the class
Written examination
Breakfast and Lunch

Registration opens on January 11th. Just check back on this page for the registration form. A non-refundable registration fee of $25 will be charged when the form is submitted.

Fireworks Demo Day

Our demo night begins at 8 pm. Remember to bring along a pen/pencil, small light, and lawn chair.

Bring along the family and friends. The evening demo is a lot of fun and a lot of fireworks!

We take great pains to buy and offer only the best fireworks material. The vast majority of our 1.3g material is purchased only after we have personally witnessed their performance. Our goal is to offer our customers only very high quality material with precise performance and symmetry and bright and saturated colors. Our cake selection features many with unusually nice effects - we believe they are among the best available anywhere.

Our shells are among the finest being produced in China today. And each of our assortments are custom designed, based on personal display experience, to include many of the best effects from each factory.
