Fire Up The Night:

Since 2012, Fire up the Night has been lighting up the night skies over Cincinnati with amazing firework displays. Created and produced by Rozzi Fireworks in conjunction with Coney Island, it is the United States only international fireworks competition.

Heading into its 9th year, the event has played host to over 21 different display companies.

Every year, three firework display companies are invited from around the world to design world class pyro-musicals which are displayed along the banks of Lake Como at Ohio’s famous Coney Island amusement park. Each company is given the same rules and the same parameters to follow and the displays are voted on by the public and a panel of judges. The criteria they follow is how well the fireworks are timed to the music, the theme and soundtrack, diversity of unique effects, and the overall design and quality of the display
