Bay Fireworks immediately following the game

Presented by

Bob Yale and Charlie Rappa not only live the American Dream - they celebrate it over 500 times each year; and literally millions of people join them in their revelry as Bob and Charlie apply today’s technology and style to a 3,000-year-old profession. As the founders and owners of Bay Fireworks, they have come to symbolize the essence of what makes America great - the belief that anybody can become whatever they want to be. Along the way they have gained millions of fans, become one of the top fireworks companies in America; and, also ruffled more than a few of their competitor’s feathers in the process.

Municipalities, festivals, and Major Corporations from coast to coast, pay Bay Fireworks anywhere from Four to Six figures to paint the sky with rocket’s red - and yellow, green, purple, blue and white - glare. Their credits include World Class fireworks presentations for the following top-tier locations: Walt Disney World, Bronx Salutes America; New York City 4th of July at the Seaport; Jones Beach Fireworks Spectacular; Major Casinos - Caesar’s, Bally’s, Claridge, Hilton; Goodwill Games 2000; Jacksonville Jazz Festival; The Barnum Festival; New York Jets; State of Wisconsin’s Sesquicentennial Celebration; Bethlehem Musikfest, New York Mets Fireworks Night at Shea Stadium; SunFest of West Palm Beach; El Paso’s SunBowl; New York State Bridge Authority; Long Island Summer Kick-off; Naval Station Newport RI; Bayfest, Corpus Christi Texas; Tall Ships 2000. Film credits include Paramount Pictures; The History Channel, and in the fall of 2002, Bay Fireworks was featured in a documentary on the Discovery Channel’s, titled “Beyond Tough”. The list goes on and on.

With headquarters in Westhampton Beach, New York, the company has protected explosive storage bunkers, offices and facilities located throughout the country to cut down on travel time. When the summer begins, those bunkers swell to bursting with nearly one million explosive shells of about 4,000 different varieties. More than 250 shows, about half of Bay Fireworks’ annual total, occur on or around Independence Day. As a result, Bay’s regular workforce of twelve full-time employees grows to about 400 technicians in July. These are experienced professionals carefully trained in the art, science and safety of modern pyrotechnics.
