Various events around the world use fireworks as part of their celebrations. Fireworks become a key way to mark occasions, and have been used for celebrations for thousands of years, or at least since the Ancient Chinese era. While some celebrations are well known, such as Bonfire Night in the UK, or Independence Day in the United States, other celebrations are slightly more unusual. All, however, buy wholesale fireworks and use fireworks such as black cat fireworks as a key part of demonstrations and festivities, and take the opportunity to put on spectacular displays. These celebrations include:
