Looking for a huge variety and great prices on Fourth of July fireworks? Visit the Castle of Muskogee, where you’ll find more than 50,000 square feet of space filled with fireworks of all kinds.
If you’re having family and friends over to celebrate the Fourth of July, here are a few essentials you’ll need: a grill for barbecuing, lots of food and beverages, sunscreen, and of course fireworks! For a huge selection and excellent prices, why not gather the family for a quick road trip to Muskogee? The Castle of Muskogee is a short 40 minute drive and is easily accessible from anywhere in the Tulsa metro area. The destination is certainly worth the trip, offering over 50,000 square feet of air-conditioned comfort with the largest assortment of fireworks in Mid-America.
The quantity and range of fireworks available at the Castle is staggering. Products range from small and safe for children (what kid doesn’t love sparklers?) to hundreds of items for teens and adults, including jumbo aerials, fountains, heavyweights, parachutes, novelties, rockets and roman candles. “We have the largest selection of heavyweights and multi-action displays in the country,” says Matt Hiller, vice president and advertising director of the Castle.
Continuing a trend that started several years ago, fireworks displays in the heavyweight category keep getting larger and more spectacular. Many are so large, they have room for internal timers that allow a more sustained show and more visual variety than older, one-fuse-lights-the-whole-display fireworks. The assortment of novelty fireworks continues to grow also; a popular introduction has been the pull-ring smoke grenade.
Since most fireworks are made in China today, we are seeing the benefits of the quality improvement campaign China has initiated. Although the Castle of Muskogee has always guaranteed its fireworks to light, the new, higher quality means absolutely no pyrotechnic disappointments on Independence Day.
Imagine a football field covered with row after row of fireworks as high as you can reach, and you’ll get an idea of what awaits you in Muskogee. Select from many versions of specially priced family packs to get the most bang for your buck.
A spacious atmosphere and ample parking make the Castle optimal for shopping – families often spend hours wandering around, checking out all the fireworks. The friendly staff is on hand to provide helpful, knowledgeable assistance with a smile. Plenty of restrooms are available as well.
The Castle of Muskogee is located at 3400 Fern Mountain Road, off Highway 69 between Interstate 40 and the Muskogee Turnpike. Fireworks will be on sale July 1 through 4 from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and July 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Special discount pricing is available July 5.
