The reason Roman candles have been such a hit with crowds since ancient times is that they are dependable as well as exciting, and just enough to require everyone to take their turn trying one. We at Double Barrel Fireworks carry a full variety of Roman fireworks, including colors, shots, and effects, which come in several different types: Slow single shots to quickly place multiple balls into the sky for as long as it takes.
Every roman candle in our lineup is selected for consistent performance and vivid effect.

Simple to light, fun to hold (safely!), and impressive every single time
You don’t need to be a pyrotechnics expert to run a great roman candle sequence. A few tips from our team:
Roman fireworks are at their best when they’re part of a layered show. Pair them with a 500G fountain opener and a grand finale closer for a backyard display that feels like the real thing.
We keep both our Texas locations fully stocked with Roman candles, fireworks for sale throughout every major season: 4th of July, New Year’s Eve, and Memorial Day Weekend. Whether you’re picking up a single pack or loading up for a full neighborhood show, our staff will help you find the right match for your budget and your vibe.
Yes, roman candles are legal consumer fireworks in Texas and are widely available during permitted holiday seasons. As with all fireworks, legality can vary by city or county, so always check local ordinances before your show, especially if you’re within city limits.
Most roman candles in our collection fire between 5 and 10 shots per candle. Shot count varies by product, and some specialty options go higher. If you’re shopping for a specific effect or duration, our in-store team can walk you through the options to find the right fit.
Absolutely, Roman candles are one of the most versatile options for parties, backyard gatherings, and celebrations of all kinds. Their individual shot format makes them easy to manage in smaller spaces, and the visual effect is crowd-pleasing without requiring a wide open field.
Simply put: shot count. A 5-ball candle fires five individual projectile bursts while a 10-ball fires ten, giving you a longer show from a single unit. For most events, 10-ball packs are the better value; more color, more sky, and more reaction from the crowd.
