To be completely candid, that night was LEGENDARY!
If you have never experienced a fireworks festival by IPC, you will want to check them out. They call their fireworks shows a pyromusical. What is a pyromusical? They describe a pyromusical like watching a concert in the sky. This is not just a firework show with music in the background, this is a firework show completely synchronized with the music that is playing. It combines various firework sounds, colors and effects meticulously timed down to the 1/100th of a second for complete synchronization with the accompanying soundtracks.
If you have ever gone to someone’s house during Christmas (and sometimes Halloween) time and watched how they synchronized the lights to the music that is playing on an FM radio, you have an idea of what I mean by synchronized. That light show is created with a computer program and Christmas lights to create the light effects when the music pops.
A Pyromusical is just like that, except with fireworks! With each down beat, a firework would pop off! This happened dozens of times throughout each choreographer presenting what they could do with 3-5 songs. It was spectacular!
Sound Amazing? Here are the details!!!

The kid zone, live music and food trucks was an incredible way to spend the day with my family! My kids had a blast on the moon bounces, throwing axes, and being able to try out new foods from the trucks! Make sure you come during the day to check out all the activities!
(Picture from one of the moon bounces last year... the kids did not want to leave!)
(My favorite food truck was the one with the pineapple slushy!)
