If you’re planning to celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks, don’t be surprised if prices are higher than expected — but some stands are finding ways to keep costs down.
Scarlett Lisjack explains how tariffs on Chinese goods have driven up the price of fireworks nationwide. With China producing 99% of consumer fireworks and 90% of professional display fireworks, the impact is unavoidable for most sellers.
But at Monster Fireworks in Greer, owner Nick Nan says long-term planning and bulk ordering allowed them to avoid major price hikes — and in some cases, even lower prices for customers.
The Fourth of July is the busiest time of year for fireworks sellers, but how much they sell often depends on the economy, global events, and consumer confidence.
