Red Rhino Fireworks
2026 Joplin Demo
April 24th-26th, 2026
The live product demo will be held on Saturday April 25th. The shoot site will be at the Joplin Athletic Complex (JAC) but there are NO bleachers. We will be in a very large parking lot to the north of the offices there. You will be able to view from your truck beds (as many do), or from the viewing area located outside of the fallout zone in the parking lot. In either case, please be sure you bring lawn chair(s) for your comfort. Bathroom facilities will be available close to the shoot site to minimize walking. We will only be here for the shoot on Saturday evening. See below for detail on each day’s activities and locations. If you have any other questions or concerns you can give us a call at (417)782-2977, 8am-4pm M-F.
