5 Fireworks for a 5 Minute Display

Five minutes is more than enough time to create a stunning fireworks display. The process of creating a display is a lot of fun whether you’re just setting up fireworks and firing them or are planning something more elaborate. You want to find fireworks that have complementary effects and create a display with beautiful colours that go well with each other. You also need to make sure you stick to your budget!
As our regular blog readers and customers know, at Firework Crazy we are more than happy to help you put on a good show. While we can provide you a firework display complete with layout and remote ignition kit, we know that sometimes you like to put your own shows together.
Here are five fireworks for a 5-minute display.

Mystic Fountain by Zeus Fireworks

Start your display with this fantastic fountain firework by Zeus Fireworks. The fountain has multiple effects and a beautiful selection of colours from blue to gold. Mystic Fountain starts with lovely crackling stars, slowly building up the pace of the explosions. The fountain runs for 90 seconds in total and it really gets the display going.

 

Strike Force Rocket Pack by Tai Pan

The Strike Force Rocket pack comes with 15 1.3g rockets that add a bit of a punch to your display. The effects include strobe, crackling, palms and crowns so the rockets are great fillers throughout the show between other fireworks or as part of your finale.

 

JRC10 60 Shot Candle by Jorge

As your fountain is about to end, this JRC10 60 shot candle is a great firework to follow. The roman candle fires gold glittering tails in vivid colours during its 30-second duration. It’s a fantastic display of colour and fun and builds up momentum for the big guns.

 

Angel Dust by Brothers Pyrotechnics

Pure mine cakes are hard to come by but Angel Dust is an old-fashioned firework to add to the end part of your display. You can build momentum with this 30-second mine cake and prepare the audience for what’s to come right at the end. You will see beautiful gold brocade with coloured tips and crackling sounds. You should definitely pair this with at least one Strike Force Rocket pack.

 

Seismic Blast by Skycrafter

For the grand finale, you want to go with Skycrafter’s Seismic Blast. The 60-second firework is a perfect way to finish a display. This single ignition box comes with 49 huge bursts of coloured comets and palms. The whole thing finishes with a rapid firing of dragon eggs. If you’ve still got a few more rockets left, you can finish off the display with those.

 
We’ve mentioned the fireworks in the order we think you should fire them, but it’s up to you how you present your display and whether you want to use different fireworks. Remember if you want a display or grand finale in one place our single ignition boxes provide fantastic value, while there’s plenty to pick from our new fireworks for 2017 as well as our firework sale and special offers.
