A Century of Innovation.
A Legacy of Awe.
At Pyro Spectaculars, we don't just shoot fireworks—we tell stories in the sky. For over five generations, the Souza family has transformed the ancient art of pyrotechnics into a world-class entertainment medium.
Five Generations of Fire
The Pyro Spectaculars story began over 100 years ago when Manuel de Sousa brought his family's pyrotechnic traditions from Portugal to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, that tradition is carried forward by a new generation of leaders.
What started as a local family trade has evolved into the largest fireworks company in the country and one of the most respected names in global entertainment.
