Hi, welcome to the first 'Galactic Update,' a new monthly blog post that will update all our customers about what's happening here at Galactic.

Last month brought an exciting opportunity for us to share our story with Fireworks Magazine. Writing the article was a step outside of my comfort zone, but it allowed me to reflect on the vibrant history and evolution of Galactic Fireworks. This trip down memory lane highlighted the shifts in legislation and consumer preferences since the early 2000s. When Standard/Black Cat's single ignitions hit the market, the now-popular big compounds were still unheard of.

Having the finished article in my hands, accompanied by photographs of family and friends who have been part of Galactic's journey, felt incredibly rewarding. The experience underlined my connection to this industry and our company's longstanding commitment to excellence and service in pyrotechnics. It's a privilege to share that passion with Fireworks Magazine's readers and our customers.

Palms Away is set to become a showstopper in our 2024 lineup. This 30-shot cake produces a dynamic display that lives up to its name, painting the night sky with brilliant golden palms. The zig-zagging fan effect creates an expansive coverage, ensuring every spectator gets an incredible view. Beneath the canopy of palms, you'll find mines bursting with strobing blues and reds – a detail that adds depth and variety to the performance. As the show climaxes, the final two volleys of five shots spread out in a 'W' shape, producing a stunning finale. With 475 grams of pyro powder packed into it, Palms Away offers a premium experience with an estimated price of £34.99, it's a bargain! We're eager for its arrival and confident it will become a firm favourite.

The Destroyer is a game-changer, delivering a professional-grade show to your back garden. This powerful 3-piece compound has a staggering 412 shots and over 2.8kg NEC. Lasting just under 3 minutes, the Destroyer offers a relentless barrage of varied patterns and effects. From the low-noise segments that build suspense to the high-impact breaks that dazzle the eyes and ears, this display in a box has been meticulously crafted to deliver a next-level performance. Destroyer will take your display to the next level, offering an unparalleled spectacle that can rival a professional cake. As the newest crown jewel in our collection, anticipation is high; we believe the Destroyer will set a new standard for what our customers can enjoy in their celebrations.
