WHAT TO EXPECT
definitely the unexpected.
Imagine the night sky coming alive with breathtaking displays of dazzling color as far as the eye can see. Then add perfectly synchronized tunes to these blazing bursts of fire as the crowd around you oohs and aahs to the music’s beat.
And there you have it…Sky Wars.
The Missouri Pyrotechnics Association proudly presents Sky Wars, a spectacular explosion of light and sound featuring invitation-only pyrotechnicians who are among the nation’s top fireworks choreographers. Their mission: to leave our audience absolutely positively breathless.
Known as pyromusicals—or concerts in the sky—these combinations of pyrotechnics and music generate explosive creations that can be seen and heard for miles. “Big” can’t describe its sheer size (it is the area’s largest fireworks show.) “Dazzling” doesn’t even begin to illustrate its glory (it is one of the only pyrotechnic competitions in the U.S.) Simply put, Sky Wars is the ultimate battle in the sky!
Join us at our upcoming annual fireworks championship. We guarantee you will take home memories that will last a lifetime.
A Light and Sound Explosion!
Since 2006, the Missouri Pyrotechnics Association (MOPyro) has built a community of volunteers, professionals, and fans with a passion for the artistry and science of fireworks.
We are dedicated to entertaining our audience who come to see the exceptionally artful pyrotechnics that only true professionals can design, build, and deliver. Our sweet spot: creating amazing displays choreographed by award-winning technicians from across the country.
We are ready to wow you, so be prepared to experience a MOPyro show that you have come to expect, appreciate…and love.
