Fireworks All Year: Your 2026 Celebration Calendar

Why limit fireworks to just the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve? In 2026, there are so many moments worth celebrating—big and small. 

At Jerry Pelfrey Fireworks, we believe fireworks bring excitement, energy, and emotion to life’s most unforgettable moments, and we’re here to help you celebrate all year long.

Whether you're lighting up a milestone birthday, cheering on your team, or hosting a neighborhood festival, this month-by-month guide will help you plan ahead for every firework-worthy occasion.

January

New Year’s Day (Jan 1)

Start the year with a burst of energy! If you didn’t celebrate at midnight, it’s not too late for a daytime sparkler sendoff or a mini show with family and friends.

Winter Birthdays & Anniversaries

Add a little warmth to cold winter nights with fountains, low-noise aerials, or a romantic fireworks moment for winter weddings or engagements.

February

Valentine’s Day (Feb 14)

Surprise your sweetheart with a sparkling finale after dinner, or a colorful proposal under the stars. Think pink, red, and glitter effects for Valentine’s Day fireworks.

Super Bowl Weekend

Light up the end zone—literally! Fireworks are a fun and unexpected addition to your tailgate or backyard watch party.

March

Spring Kickoff Parties

Celebrate the season change with daytime smoke effects, glow novelties for kids, or fountains at evening garden parties.

St. Patrick’s Day (Mar 17)

Add some green glitter and golden crackle to your celebration. Pair with themed lighting for a festive, firework-friendly vibe.

April

Easter Weekend

Use sparklers or color-themed fireworks to end your egg hunt or family dinner with flair. Smoke bombs in pastel hues are a hit with kids!

Spring Birthdays & Weddings

With longer days and milder weather, April is a beautiful time to celebrate outdoors with colorful ground displays or low-impact aerials.

Memorial Day (May 25)

A classic fireworks holiday. Honor the day with a respectful and beautiful nighttime display. Stock up early—Memorial Day gets busy.

Graduation Season Begins

Celebrate your grad’s big moment with fireworks in their school colors or a surprise finale at their party.

The nights are warm, the skies are clear—perfect conditions for fireworks! Great for BBQs, pool parties, and lake weekends.

Father’s Day

Surprise Dad with something more exciting than socks—a backyard show just for him.

July

Independence Day (July 4)

No explanation needed. But also consider pre- and post-holiday events, neighborhood block parties, or lake trip finales.

Mid-Summer Celebrations

Think family reunions, milestone birthdays, or weekend cabin trips—all great excuses to bring out the fireworks again.

August

Back-to-School Bash

Give summer one final sendoff! Celebrate the end of vacation with a low-key show for friends and neighbors.

Labor Day Planning Starts Now

August is the perfect month to stock up for early September celebrations.

September

Labor Day Weekend (Sept 7)

One of the best underrated holidays for fireworks! Great weather + a long weekend = perfect conditions.

Fall Festivals & Pumpkin Patches

A respectful fireworks display is a great way to honor and thank those who’ve served.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Wrap up your family feast with a backyard sparkler moment or a surprise display for the kids.
