Coon Rapids Fireworks Behind the Scenes | Minneapolis News

Coon Rapids, Minnesota, turns its historic Fire Station Three into a sky-filling spectacle for its Fourth of July fireworks show — a decades-old tradition powered by 80+ boxes of fireworks, 429 precision-triggered cues, and a certified expert behind the scenes.

Despite Minnesota’s strict fireworks laws, Coon Rapids’ special permits and professional oversight make this dazzling display not just legal, but a beloved community cornerstone.
