COVID is causing widespread fireworks cancellations, so this is the year to look back at amazing displays.
For your consideration:

This display has a false finale around 8 minutes, a dramatic disaster at minute 19, and the cameras saturate during the finale, because fireworks should always beat cameras in a bare fisted match, even after a catastrophic launch failure.
Also, they have big slow gradient sweeps on a few of the big ball shells, which I hadn’t seen before.
Finally, we have the historic element: Back in the 90’s Columbus pioneered putting a MIDI endpoint in each shell to synchronize the fireworks with the music. I think they also were some of the first to get blue shells and the happy faces.
Surely, HN can do better.
