The City of Destin is considering a contract extension with Pyro Shows, Inc. for the 2026 Independence Day Fireworks Display. This agreement is the first of five possible one-year extensions to an original contract approved in 2014. The event is planned for July 4th, 2026, with a rain date of July 5th, 2026. This item is currently under review as a contract extension. The work involves providing a fireworks display, which includes the procurement and setup of pyrotechnic materials and their safe detonation. Local businesses involved in event services, specialized equipment rental, and potentially security or crowd management could find opportunities. Engaging early is advantageous as the contract is being reviewed for extension, offering a chance to align services before final approvals.
