New Lenox Locks in Three-Year Fireworks Contract to Stabilize Costs

Village of New Lenox Board of Trustees Meeting | October 13, 2025

Article Summary: The New Lenox Village Board has approved a three-year contract with Pyrotecnico Fireworks, Inc. to secure pricing for its popular Fourth of July festivities through 2028. The agreement is intended to provide cost stability in a market that has seen prices rise due to newly imposed tariffs on fireworks products.

Fourth of July Fireworks Contract Key Points:

• The board approved a three-year contract with Pyrotecnico Fireworks, Inc. for the village’s annual display.

• The agreement aims to lock in prices in a volatile market.

• The cost for the shows will range from $31,425 in 2026 to $32,367 in 2028.

• The pricing represents a roughly 7% increase over the 2025 display, attributed to new tariffs.

The New Lenox Village Board on Monday, October 13, 2025, approved a three-year contract with Pyrotecnico Fireworks, Inc. to ensure the village’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show continues to dazzle residents.

The agreement locks in pricing for the next three years, a strategic move to hedge against an unstable market. Community Engagement Director Beth Alderson explained the rationale, citing “a market that has been less than stable over the last few years.”

Under the new contract, the cost for the display will be $31,425 for 2026, $34,425 for 2027, and $32,367 for 2028. Alderson noted that this pricing is approximately 7% higher than the 2025 show, an increase she attributed to “newly imposed tariffs on the fireworks products.”

The company has provided the village’s fireworks for at least the last 15 years and received high praise from the board. “This company has done a great job in the past,” commented Trustee Bryan Reiser. Trustee Katie Christopherson agreed, adding, “New Lenox has one of the best displays around.”

The motion to approve the contract, which ensures the continuation of a beloved community tradition, was passed unanimously.
