Panda Fireworks Delivers a Standout Showing at the 2026 NFA Expo

Fort Wayne, Indiana – Panda Fireworks made a powerful impression at the 2026 National Fireworks Association (NFA) Fall Expo, held September 14–18 at the Grand Wayne Convention Center. From a lively trade show floor to a series of show-stopping nightly demonstrations, the company gave the industry plenty to talk about.

A Legacy Built on Trust and Innovation

Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Liuyang, China's "Hometown of Fireworks," Panda Fireworks has grown into one of the world's largest fireworks producers and a one-stop shop for everything related to fireworks—from procurement to collaborating with customers on fully tailored products. The company manufactures, distributes, and owns a portfolio of leading brands, and its credentials include serving as the tender winner for the fireworks displays at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and Paralympics, staging a legendary show that combined safety, technology, and artistry above the Bird's Nest stadium.

A Global Footprint, a Strong American Presence

Panda Fireworks' reach extends across Europe, Southeast Asia, and other key regions worldwide. In North America, that presence is anchored by three powerhouse brands: Winda Fireworks, Bright Star Fireworks, and Wizard Fireworks, the company's professional display Brand. All are recognized as top-tier names in the U.S. market, known for consistent quality and innovative design.

It was these American brands that took center stage at the NFA Expo—the definitive event for the U.S. fireworks industry. The members-only convention is the premier forum for manufacturers, importers, and distributors to exchange ideas and showcase cutting-edge products. Panda Fireworks' prominent participation reflects both its professional standing and its deep integration into the American market.

Nightly Demos That Stole the Show

The highlight of the week came after dark at Kruse Plaza, where Panda Fireworks' nightly product demonstrations captivated crowds of industry insiders. Winda Fireworks delivered a dynamic program of 1.4G consumer products, spanning fountains and cakes, while Wizard Fireworks showcased its 1.4G PRO line. Together, the demonstrations offered retailers a comprehensive look at the breadth and quality of the company's catalog.

A Strong Showing on the Trade Show Floor

The response across the trade show floor was immediate. Panda Fireworks' brands drew a steady stream of retailers and distributors eager to ask about products, discuss partnerships, and place orders. Time and again, customers brought up the demos—many calling them among the best at the event.

Panda Fireworks also brought a touch of personality to the proceedings. Exclusive branded merchandise, including a distinctive "face-changing" panda toy, along with baseball caps and T-shirts, proved a massive hit with visitors, deepening the brand's connection with its partners.

Looking Ahead

Panda Fireworks' success at the 2026 NFA Expo reflects the values that have driven the company for more than three decades: Reliable Delivery, Reliable Quality. Guided by its mission to add luster to people's cultural and spiritual lives, the company will continue leveraging its global manufacturing strength and design capabilities to bring the joy of celebration to customers around the world.
