Dates & Tickets
No more Fireworks & Fountains Shows in 2024
Tickets limited. Sell out likely.
Tickets include all-day Gardens admission.
Fireworks & Fountains Shows require a special ticket; Illuminated Fountain Performances are included in Gardens Admission.
Reserved Seating
New this year, all seating for Fireworks & Fountains Shows is reserved. Reserved seating allows you to select your seat, then arrive to your seat placed and waiting for you—no need to bring your own chair.
Reserved Seating: $50–$75
Gardens Preferred, Gardens Premium Members, and Innovators: $42–63
All guests, except those under 2 years of age, must purchase a ticketed Fireworks & Fountains Show seat. Guests under 2 years of age must be held in a parent or guardian’s arms and not obstruct the view of other guests.
Shows will proceed in rain.
The decision to delay or cancel the show due to dangerous weather (lightning or high winds) will be made at the time of the show; please plan to arrive as normal.
Umbrellas must be closed at the time of the show so as not to obstruct the view. Rain gear (such as ponchos) is permitted. Strollers are permitted in the Gardens, but not within the performance seating area and must be parked in the designated stroller parking location during Fireworks & Fountains Shows.
Fireworks tickets are non-refundable and may not be exchanged for another date or time. Should we experience extreme weather conditions, the show will be rescheduled for the next day at the same time and ticketholders will be notified.
Fireworks & Fountains Shows are back and better than ever. With imaginative new shows, an enhanced sound system, new reserved seating throughout the entire venue, and new vistas—including our new tiered Conservatory Overlook—consider your Fireworks & Fountains Shows experience reimagined.
