Sky Wars' 15th Annual Fireworks Championship

Sky Wars—from the creators of the original Pyromania—will hold its 15th annual invitational fireworks championship. Gates open at 4 p.m., and the fireworks show begins at 7:30 p.m. The event is in partnership with the developers of Innsbrook.

Sky Wars, which is presented by the Missouri Pyrotechnics Association, is the area’s largest fireworks show and one of the only pyrotechnic competitions in the U.S.

The more than two-hour long fireworks championship will feature invitation-only pyrotechnicians who are among the nation’s top fireworks choreographers. Up to 10 highly skilled teams will create award-winning pyromusicals—or “concerts in the sky”—which combine the artistry of music and pyrotechnics. Sky Wars will feature The Fireball Dudes, who hold a world record for their signature gasoline fireballs.

There will be a Children’s Festival Area from 2 to 7 p.m., and families are welcome. A wide variety of food and beverages will be available for purchase.

Sky Wars’ nonprofit partners include Concerned Citizens for Animal Care of Warren County and its “Raise the Woof” campaign plus a canned food drive at the show to benefit Operation Food Search and AGAPE.

Tickets range from $20 to $35 per person for general admission. To purchase tickets or for further information, call (314) 730-0793 or visit http://www.skywarsevent.com.
