What’s The Difference Between Firecrackers and Fireworks?

When it comes to deciding whether to go for firecrackers or fireworks for your display, you can use a combination of both if you like. The main difference between firecrackers and fireworks is fireworks use gunpowder and a range of other chemicals, when they are lit, they create hug lights, colours, sparks, bangs when they reach the sky. Firecrackers are different, they consist of a string of bangers which are linked by a fuse that emits a series of loud bangs when it is lit up.
