In other words, you might not notice a difference for sparklers -- but some of the big fireworks, like mortars, are a different story.“I own a business and I like to get my workers fireworks. Just something to celebrate because a lot of times they can’t afford them or don’t have access to them,” he said.
“I go for the big boxed ones,” Bristol said. “Like the ones with a bunch of different types of fireworks in it, you know, with Roman candles, sparklers, the ones that shoot in the air.”Ronald Taylor says he’s not buying fireworks this year because of the impact he’s seeing from inflation overall.Taylor is a delivery driver for DoorDash, and he hopes that he’ll get to see other displays when he’s working over the holiday weekend.
“Everybody that bought fireworks is gonna be lighting them right in the area where I’m dropping them off food so that will be wonderful,” he said. A stand we visited Wednesday night on Atlantic Boulevard said that, overall, its prices in particular have gone up about 20%.
