What order should I burst crackers in?

Start gentle with sparklers, let kids go early with their novelties, build up with ground crackers and fountains, space out the sky shots, and finish with the loud garlands and sound crackers. Keep a safety reset between each stage.

How long should a crackers evening last?

Most family evenings run 30–60 minutes of active bursting, spread across the acts. The planner splits your chosen length across what you've got so nothing feels rushed or drags.

When should kids burst their crackers?

Early in the evening while they're fresh and it's still their turn — gentle sparklers and novelties first, then they can wind down before the louder finale.

Any safety tips during the show?

Keep a bucket of water and sand ready, light one cracker at a time at arm's length, clear duds by soaking them, and keep spectators back. Only burst within your state's permitted timings.
