打ち上げ花火 (うちあげはなび) skyrocket
手持ち花火　(てもちはなび) sparkler
線香花火 (せんこうはなび) sparkler
爆竹 (ばくちく)　firecrakers
花火大会 (はなびたいかい) fireworks display
水中花火 (すいちゅうはなび) fireworks shot up from a body of water
鼠花火 (ねずみはなび) pinwheel firework

Just off the top of my head. I recommend googling 花火 to get more in depth results.

花火大会 (はんびたいかい) fireworks display

Of course you mean はなび here and there. That darn double 'n.'

I remember when I first learned the word 花火... "Flower fire? How poetic!" (Likewise, a volcano is a 火山 (かざん), "fire mountain". Though maybe that one sounds more poetic to us than it does to the Japanese.)

I've always wondered if there was any connection between the word 花火 and the "fire flower" in Super Mario Bros., but as far as I can tell, that's a coincidence.
