Fun Facts About Fireworks. Did you know the word “firework” comes from the Greek word “pyrotechnics,” meaning "fire art"? It’s a fitting term for these dazzling displays that combine science, art, and a bit of magic. Americans love their fireworks. According to the American Pyrotechnics Association, U.S. consumers purchased 163.6 million pounds of fireworks last year alone and fireworks displays used another 23.1 million pounds. Walt Disney World may just love fireworks the most. The resort consumes the largest amount of fireworks in the U.S. per year, thanks to nightly fireworks displays over the Magic Kingdom. #detroit #michigan #fireworks
