What is PyroJam?

To be completely candid, that night was LEGENDARY!

If you have never experienced a fireworks festival by IPC, you will want to check them out.  They call their fireworks shows a pyromusical. What is a pyromusical? They describe a pyromusical like watching a concert in the sky.  This is not just a firework show with music in the background, this is a firework show completely synchronized with the music that is playing.  It combines various firework sounds, colors and effects meticulously timed down to the 1/100th of a second for complete synchronization with the accompanying soundtracks.

If you have ever gone to someone’s house during Christmas (and sometimes Halloween) time and watched how they synchronized the lights to the music that is playing on an FM radio, you have an idea of what I mean by synchronized. That light show is created with a computer program and Christmas lights to create the light effects when the music pops.  

A Pyromusical is just like that, except with fireworks! With each down beat, a firework would pop off!  This happened dozens of times throughout each choreographer presenting what they could do with 3-5 songs.  It was spectacular!


Sound Amazing?  Here are the details!!!

Pyrojam, a day-into-night festival featuring live music plus two hours of fireworks by some of the world’s top pyrotechnic choreographers – will hold its second annual fireworks competition on Sat., September 2, 2023. 

PyroJam will be held at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum located at 10515 Mackall Rd. in St. Leonard, Md. Gates open at 3 p.m., and the two-hour fireworks show begins at 8:30 p.m. 


  • Musical entertainment includes Live Bands from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
  • PyroJam includes an interactive Kids Zone area from 3 to 7 p.m. 
  • A wide variety of food and beverages will be available for purchase at more than 20 food trucks from 3 to 9 p.m.

The kid zone, live music and food trucks was an incredible way to spend the day with my family!  My kids had a blast on the moon bounces, throwing axes, and being able to try out new foods from the trucks!  Make sure you come during the day to check out all the activities!

PyroJam is presented by Innovative Pyrotechnic Concepts (IPC), an award- winning Southern Maryland pyrotechnics company that produces more than 200 shows per year ranging from festivals and private events to amusement parks and professional sports teams in the Maryland, Virginia, and Greater DC areas.
