Red Hot Boom is known for being huge and extra well- the boom is downsizing after this year.
“It’s the longest show in Florida,” said Altamonte City Manager Frank Martz. “It’s the largest show in Florida, and we think it’s the best show.”
Martz said economic changes are coming to the city and the fireworks show.
“The physical environment is changing,” he said. “The area is attracting 1.5 billion dollars in economic development.”

In the 2024 show, the fireworks will be smaller, and the lineup for other types of entertainment will be longer.
“If everyone brings the best of themselves, it will be great,” Martz said.
