Sparklers

Sparklers are handheld sticks that are lit at one end, emitting shimmering sparks like a magic wand. They’re a traditional favorite for kids (with adult supervision) and to add some audience involvement to any fireworks show. Popular around the world, people buy sparklers online for events like Diwali Festivals and the U.S.A.'s Independence Day.

These safe and smokeless fireworks are formed around a thin, non-combustible metallic wire, coated with a slow-burning pyrotechnic composition, such as flash powder or smoke powder, and then left to dry.

The Chinese discovered and began developing and manufacturing fireworks around the sixth century AD, and sparklers were a part of that revolutionary time of invention. The first handheld firework is thought to have been created in 670 AD, which was more akin to a Roman candle and has morphed into our beloved, well-known sparklers over the millennia.

All fireworks we sell at Red Apple Fireworks meet the testing criteria set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). We only sell fireworks designed according to strict guidelines, ensuring that all pyrotechnic material has undergone mandatory stress and heat tests.

Sparklers are safe to use, but adult supervision and proper care, protection, and caution is encouraged. Of course, only use sparklers outdoors!
