The Fireworks Festival That Will Blow Your Mind (Literally)

🌎 An International Fireworks Showdown

What do you get when you mix world-class fireworks, epic music, and a little friendly international competition? You get PyroJam 2025—aka the most jaw-dropping, eye-popping, heart-thumping event of the summer.

This isn’t your average backyard fireworks show. PyroJam is a pyromusical—a fully choreographed fireworks display where every firework explodes in perfect sync with the beat of the music. Think: “concert in the sky.” Then add a global twist, because this is a full-on international fireworks competition, featuring pyro-artists from across the globe battling it out for firework fame.


🎇 Wait… What exactly is a Pyromusical?

Imagine the holiday light shows synced to your favorite Christmas radio station… but replace the twinkling lights with glittering explosions, and multiply the WOW factor by 1,000.

Each pyrotechnic artist gets 3–5 songs to show off their stuff. The fireworks don’t just accompany the music—they become the music. Every bass drop? BOOM. Every crescendo? SPARKLE. Every chorus? You guessed it—an explosion of color and sound.

By the time the finale rolls around, you'll be completely hypnotized.



🔥 Meet the Creator: Timothy Jameson

PyroJam is the brainchild of Timothy Jameson, a passionate pyro-visionary and the founder of Innovative Pyrotechnic Concepts (IPC). He’s not just a fireworks guy—he’s a master of the modern pyromusical.

With over a decade of experience designing next-level fireworks displays, Jameson has redefined what a fireworks show can be. He doesn’t just set off fireworks—he tells stories with them. Think of him as the Spielberg of sparks, the Beyoncé of booms, the Da Vinci of detonation.

PyroJam is his personal masterpiece. It began as a bold idea: bring the world’s top fireworks choreographers together in one place to battle it out on the biggest stage imaginable. And now, it’s the only true international fireworks competition in the U.S.


🚀 Powered by IPC (Innovative Pyrotechnic Concepts)

Based in Southern Maryland, IPC is a nationally acclaimed fireworks company known for their innovative, immersive, and jaw-dropping pyrotechnic performances. They produce over 200 shows a year, lighting up everything from music festivals and sporting events to amusement parks and private celebrations across Maryland, Virginia, and the DC metro area.

Known for their expertise in custom pyromusical displays, IPC is trusted by both national event organizers and local communities to deliver safe, stunning, and unforgettable firework experiences.

At PyroJam, IPC doesn't just organize the event—they produce every single firework display, including the breathtaking finale that caps off the night. Their team handles the entire production: scripting, music syncing, safety protocols, and the artistic design behind each awe-inspiring explosion.
