Sparklers: A Brief History of Your Favorite Party Favor




Historians credit the Chinese with the discovery of fireworks many centuries ago. It is thought that Chinese alchemists mixed certain ingredients which unwittingly lead to the earliest form of gunpowder. These early pyrotechnicians put the volatile substance into bamboo shoots which were thrown into fire to create a spark accompanied by a blast – thus, the first firework was set off.
During the European Renaissance, pyrotechnic schools were training artists to design elaborate, vibrant firework displays. From Europe, firecrackers made their way to the colonial United States. Fireworks have been ingrained in American culture from the earliest days of this nation, as they were used to celebrate the very first anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
 
The fireworks industry has evolved since then to include smaller, more individualized fireworks known as sparklers. While firecrackers are designed to create a controlled explosion, sparklers burn over a long period of time and produce a shower of sparks – hence the name sparklers!
Sparklers can be used hand in hand with firecrackers for traditional holiday celebrations on the Fourth of July or New Years; but in recent years, sparklers have begun to be used to adorn cakes or at weddings to create an electrifying grand send-off for the bride and groom.
