We’ve got things to say, people to celebrate, and stages to set on fire—figuratively, of course (our insurance says we have to say that). Firecracker Department is where creativity meets community, and the press has started to notice. From trailblazing artists to laughter-filled lineups, we’re making noise—and it’s the good kind.

Want to fan the flames? Scroll through for highlights, headlines, and quotable moments that’ll make you wish you joined us sooner. Don’t worry—you still can.
