Of course New Year celebrations top the list for using fireworks, but fireworks are the guest of honor at many other celebrations around the world too. Below is a list of some of the famous celebrations and festivals which are known for their fantastic fireworks displays. New Year’s Eve (worldwide) Throughout the world, the New Year is ushered in with a lot of excitement. Many, many countries celebrate it with massive fireworks displays.
