The CoMo Firework Wars are a tradition dating back to the late-1990’s/early-2000’s in Columbia, MO. Residents take to streets to launch commercial grade fireworks at each other, engaging in battles that can last until 4 am. Most wars result in these fireworks being launched at responding police when they are called to break up the melee.
