Looks like Ignite is back at SWO this year (it wasn't last year due to a smaller show due to COVID) beginning next weekend. That along with CineCele at USF looks like a normal summer on I-4 north of WDW. Should be interesting what TDO has up their sleeve.....

Hopefully EF at least is still on track for late June and the only hurdle is distancing ending.

If you think about how soon they can start fireworks and how long in advanced they’d make an announcement for it to make business sense, you can guesstimate the start of fireworks.
I think they can realistically start fireworks as soon as the second week of June. That’s the soonest considering them going through hiring fireworks technicians recently and enough time until 4th of July for the “I want to be there day 1 of fireworks” people/vloggers to get their fill.
So when would they announce it? I’d put that right at the end of may or beginning of June. That means they make the announcement on Memorial Day weekend as a celebration or right after Memorial Day.
So announcement anywhere between May 28th - June 2nd. Possibly starting fireworks somewhere between June 11th - 14th.
No insider information, just a feeling and some thoughts.

If they'd been planning for it, a week away would be doable. If only.
An earlier delivery date for something is typically possible if work on that thing starts earlier.

It almost makes one wonder if the sticking point isn’t the amount of time it takes to get the show going.

Seems to me a June 15th target would make sense, with college program labor coming in on June 14th. Pure guess, though.

If I were them, I would not want to wait till July, because there will be a huge crush already on July 4th (if there are fireworks), so give the locals a chance to get it out of their system before then. Or wait till after the 4th.
