Hartwood Acres Hosts PyroFest Fireworks Festival

Pyrotecnico’s inaugural pyrotechnics and fireworks festival, PryoFest, will light up the skies on Saturday, May 26, at Hartwood Acres in Hampton Township.

Headquartered in New Castle, Pyrotecnico is a family-owned fireworks and special effects company that has been designing award-winning shows for more than 120 years.

In partnership with the Allegheny County Parks Department, CBS Radio and Lamar Advertising, PyroFest promises to be a fun-filled, daylong community event for all ages.

“Fireworks are the international symbol of celebration and what better way to
commemorate the Memorial Day weekend than a day of unique and innovative
pyrotechnics and fireworks entertainment,” said Stephen Vitale, president and CEO of Pyrotecnico.

America’s largest fireworks festival, PyroFest, will feature a number of pyrotechnic displays including: a U.S. Military Salute and National Anthem display, daytime and colored smoke fireworks, a 300-foot pryo sun, a pyro UFO launch, and “Rock Loves,” based off the award-winning fireworks show of the same name.

Techniques and products from around the world will influence the design of these never-before-seen pyrotechnic displays. According to show producers, the audience will witness memorable and spectacular presentations of both daytime and nighttime fireworks, creating a sensory and visual experience that is certain to thrill young and old.

In addition to the pyro-packed line-up, PyroFest will also include live music from local fan favorites like B.E. Taylor and The Gathering Field, a variety of food and merchandise vendors, and a kid’s zone.
