To help you choose the perfect closing note for your celebration, here are some must-try types of fireworks to use for New Year's Eve. 

Aerial Shells

Kicking off our list of must-try fireworks for New Year's Eve are aerial shells, also known as mortars or reloadables. Popular for their high-flying displays and loud bangs, these fireworks are ideal for large celebrations.

Aerial shells create stunning visual effects, lighting up the night sky with a variety of colors and patterns that captivate spectators. Their dramatic impact makes them perfect for ringing in the New Year. These shells contain a casing filled with explosive materials, including a lift charge and an effects charge. Here's how they work:

• Load the shell into a launch tube (mortar), with the fuse exposed at the top.
• When the fuse is lit, it ignites the lift charge, propelling the shell into the air.
• Once the shell reaches its peak height, a timed fuse ignites the effects charge, creating a spectacular visual display as it explodes, releasing colorful stars into the sky.

Multi-Shot Cakes

Multi-shot cakes, or just “cakes,” are a popular type of firework that feature multiple tubes connected by fuses, designed to create a series of effects with a single ignition.

These fireworks cakes typically come in a rectangular or cubic box, with tubes loaded with explosive charges and linked by a fuse to set them off sequentially or all at once. They’re perfect for busy New Year’s Eve celebrations, as they offer multiple effects in a single, continuous show without the need for individual setups.

Easy to use, these cakes require just one ignition point, making them ideal for beginners or those with limited experience. Their longer, more exciting displays pack a lot of visual impact in a short amount of time, making them a great choice to keep the party lively and memorable.

Fountains

Fountains are ground-based fireworks that create a beautiful display of sparks and colors. They produce a steady stream of sparks from a stationary base, making them a great option for a more controlled show.

These fireworks are typically cylindrical or conical in shape and filled with a pyrotechnic composition. When lit, the composition burns, creating pressure that sends sparks, flames, and gases into the air in a plume. The nozzle at the top directs the effects upward, while the base ensures it stays securely grounded.

Quieter than many other fireworks, they’re ideal for family-friendly celebrations or events where noise may be a concern, making them perfect for gatherings with children or pets. With various types offering changing effects or themes, they provide plenty of options to make your New Year’s celebration special.

Sparklers

A classic choice for personal use, sparklers offer a fun and safe way to add a bit of sparkle to any celebration. These handheld fireworks produce bright sparks and flames when lit. They have a thin metal wire coated with a pyrotechnic composition that burns slowly, allowing you to wave them around and create patterns in the air.

Sparklers are easy to ignite and don’t require any special setup or equipment, making them a great option for casual celebrations. They’re simple to use, so everyone can join in the fun quickly.

These little fireworks are a great way to add some extra magic to New Year's Eve celebrations. Their bright lights and the fun of making patterns in the dark help set the festive mood, making them a favorite at parties and gatherings. Sparklers are often seen as a safe option for kids (with adult supervision), which means all members of the family can enjoy a fun activity together.

Roman Candles

Roman candles are a traditional type of firework, known for their colorful bursts. They’re easy to set up and ignite—simply secure the candle in a safe spot and light it, making them a convenient option for casual celebrations.

Roman candles are made from cardboard or paper tubes containing pyrotechnic stars and lift charges that propel the stars into the air. Each star ignites and is ejected at timed intervals, creating a fun display that lasts from a few seconds to minutes. Popular for New Year’s Eve and family gatherings, they offer a safe and exciting option for both kids and adults (with supervision).
