Product Demonstrations & Vendors
One of the biggest parts of Mid-States is the opportunity to see fireworks products fired live.
Vendors from throughout the industry showcase new releases, popular items, and products customers may want to add to future shows.
Live demonstrations give attendees a chance to compare effects, timing, colors, sound, spread, and performance before making purchasing decisions.
The vending area also gives shooters and enthusiasts an opportunity to meet directly with suppliers and learn more about different brands and products.
Class C Vending
Mid-States features Class C vending, allowing attendees to explore consumer fireworks products available from participating vendors.
The event operates on a cash-and-carry basis, so attendees should plan accordingly.
No storage is available during the event.
Open Shooting
Open shooting is a major part of the Mid-States experience.
It gives attendees an opportunity to enjoy fireworks in a controlled event environment while connecting with other shooters and sharing favorite products.
Participants are expected to follow all event rules and use products responsibly.
Improper demonstrations or unsafe use of fireworks may result in removal from the event.
Battle of the Boom
The Battle of the Boom adds another exciting element to Mid-States.
It brings together creativity, competition, and serious fireworks energy, giving attendees a chance to experience unique displays and see what talented shooters can create.
For pyro enthusiasts, it is another opportunity to experience fireworks beyond a traditional product demo.
Fireballs & Nightly Finales
When evening arrives, Mid-States shifts into full show mode.
Attendees can expect impressive effects, fireballs, demonstrations, and nightly finales that bring everyone together at the end of the day.
These displays give participating companies and shooters a chance to showcase their creativity while giving spectators plenty of PYRO to enjoy.
Educational Seminars
Education is an important part of Mid-States.
Seminars and training opportunities help attendees improve their knowledge of fireworks, shooting practices, equipment, and the industry.
Whether you're newer to the hobby or have years of shooting experience, the event provides opportunities to learn from people who work with fireworks regularly.
Shooters Class
Mid-States also offers a dedicated Shooters Class.
One unique feature is that attendees do not necessarily have to be registered for the full Mid-States event to participate in the Shooters Class.
This makes it a valuable opportunity for people who want to expand their pyrotechnic knowledge even if they are not attending the entire gathering.
For the latest class registration details and requirements, attendees should check official event updates.
Collector’s Corner
Fireworks history and collecting are also part of the Mid-States experience.
Collector’s Corner gives enthusiasts a place to connect over vintage fireworks, packaging, memorabilia, and the history of the industry.
For longtime pyro fans, it is a chance to explore another side of fireworks culture beyond current products and displays.
Hale Fireworks Collectors Museum
Attendees can also explore the Hale Fireworks Collectors Museum.
The museum showcases pieces of fireworks history and gives visitors a chance to see how packaging, products, advertising, and the industry itself have changed over the years.
It is a great stop for collectors, history fans, and anyone interested in the evolution of fireworks.
After Glow Gatherings
The fun does not necessarily end when the nightly finale is over.
After Glow gatherings give attendees additional time to relax, talk with friends, meet new people, and continue networking with the pyro community.
