The Fourth Of July holiday is coming up this week and we all know that one of the big things that takes place during this time is people popping fireworks. We will all either have a party or attend a party with family and friends.  We all know that one of the essential things for anyone's successful July 4th celebration is to pop some fireworks off that evening.

Well, we have the top five most popular fireworks in Louisiana to buy for your celebration.

#5 Sparkers  

They usually last about 30 to 45 seconds but kids think it's the greatest thing they have ever held in their hands.

#4  Roman Candles

Roman Candles are those long thin tubes that when you light them shoot out a series of 8 to 10 fireballs.  Also a kid's favorite!

#3 Cone Fountains

Also pretty safe.  You put them on the ground and light the top.  A series of sparks will shoot up and change to a bunch of different colors.

This is the one firework that makes the most noise and will scare the **** out of your friends and family who are not expecting them to go off.

#1 Bottle Rockets

These are my all-time favorite.  They call them bottle rockets because you are supposed to place them in a bottle and light them and they take off flying and pop in mid-air.  By far the best.

Always practice safety while setting off your fireworks.  Happy 4th everyone and be safe!
