THE BOOM
Red Hot & Boom is famous for its jaw-dropping fireworks - and this year will be no different.

"We take pride in the fact that we put on a fireworks display that can compete with any other show in Florida," said Jerry Sullivan, Director of Events for the City of Altamonte Springs. Guests will "ooh" and "ahh" during the 25-minute show, which features advanced pyrotechnics choreographed to both today's hits and old favorites - all on the beautiful Cranes

Roost Park waterfront.  

The celebration starts at 4:00 pm. An early arrival is suggested for people who want to stake out a prime spot. Coolers, personal fireworks and pets are NOT allowed. This is a rain or shine event; the show will go on even if Mother Nature is not cooperating.
