Welcome to the PGI
The Pyrotechnics Guild International, Inc., founded in 1969, is
an independent worldwide nonprofit organization of amateur and
professional fireworks enthusiasts. Its educational and scientific
purposes are to:
1. Promote the safe and responsible display and use of
pyrotechnics and fireworks.
2. Encourage the display of public and private fireworks in
conjunction with local and national holidays as well as patriotic and
other events.
3. Promote the production and sale of high quality fireworks.
4. Channel the creative energies of talented people into the
design, production and display of high quality fireworks by example of
the membership and through the sharing of knowledge.
The PGI realizes its purpose through the following four venues:
The PGI Annual Convention: a
week-long event held in early August, in a variety of locations.
The PGI Bulletin: a quality
periodical published five times per year.
The PGI Website: providing access and information both to members
and the general public.
The PGI Display Operator Certification:
offering comprehensive classroom instruction, field demonstrations, and
written testing for potential display operators. Although Membership in
the PGI is not required to be a PGI Certified Display Operator, we
encourage all fireworks enthusiasts to become PGI Members
