Join a fireworks club and enjoy fireworks legally. Clubs provide legal areas to shoot fireworks and opportunities to learn safety measures. Some clubs have access to discounts and classes on how to build and shoot commercial fireworks.
Nearly all fireworks clubs in the United States are endorsed by the Pyrotechnics Guild International (PGI). The PGI provides resources, course materials, written publications, and guidance for clubs and PGI members. In addition, the PGI sponsors an annual convention each year that allows members to get together to exchange ideas and view some of the best fireworks in the world. You should consider joining the PGI if you are not already a member.
