2025 — Looking to the Future

2025 is going to be an exciting year, don’t get us wrong, but probably not as exciting as 2026!

Let’s first look ahead at 2025:
1) SURPRISE!!! On April 8, 2025, the Kansas Governor passed Senate Bill 199, allowing for an extended window of retail firework sales throughout the State of Kansas. This new law can be modified be local cities and counties, but otherwise allows for retail firework stands to now sell fireworks from June 20th through July 7th (with the former selling period being June 27th through July 4th). Visit our stand locations page to see which stands are taking advantage of this and opening earlier than in years prior! Don’t forget to check with your local ordinances for posted discharge dates and times, though, as MOST discharge dates are STILL the same as they have been in the past!
2) Even with the new law in effect for 2025, with the 4th of July falling on a Friday this year, those who are unable to open over the weekend of the 20th, many of our other fundraiser locations throughout Kansas will be opening on Friday, June 27th and closing up on Friday, July 4th! 
3) Some MORE exciting news….Our Wichita stand IS back in their former location (as they were in 2023) within the Huntley Yards Shopping Center. They are located along North Woodlawn Street, south of the Wendy’s. Be sure to visit our detailed information page prior to venturing out to visit the Fred Douglass Lodge group for the most up to date information on their location.

Looking ahead at 2026:
1) Y’all, 2026 is the USA’s Semi-Quincentennial, or to put it in more simple terms, we are celebrating 250 Years of Independence! So, expect the fireworks world, and Showalter Fireworks, to GO BIG next year!
2) We have exciting things planned for 2026 for all of our stand locations, so you don’t want to miss out!
Until then, let’s enjoy everything 2025 has yet to bring us. We are incredibly thankful for all of our customers.
