How Much Are Roman Candles?

If you're planning a backyard blowout, neighborhood finale, or New Year's countdown, you need roman candles. But how much are romance candles?

Good news! Roman candles are one of the most affordable and showstopping ways to light up the night sky.

Whether you're buying a couple for a family celebration or stocking up for a full-scale production, Red Apple® Fireworks has you covered with precision-tuned performance and head-turning visuals.

Understand What Drives the Price of Roman Candles

What is a Roman candle? Only the next best thing for your next get-together. But not all Roman candles are created equal.

Roman candle prices can range from under $10 for compact single-tube designs to $40 or more for large multi-shot powerhouses. The pricing largely depends on what's inside, how it performs, and how it fits your show goals.

Here's what drives the price:

  • Shot count and size: The more shots per candle and the larger the stars or effects, the higher the cost. A 5-shot candle with jumbo bursts will cost more than a small 8-ball candle with basic color pearls.
  • Effect type: Glitter trails, crackle bouquets, color-changing stars, comets, and whistling tails add complexity — and price.
  • Tube construction: Heavier-duty tubes offer better durability and more consistent performance, especially in multi-pack bundles.
  • Performance tuning: At Red Apple®, every Roman candle is tested and tweaked for maximum aerial lift, timing, and color intensity. That precision? Worth every penny.
  • Brand exclusivity: Designer-style naming, bold packaging, and curated collections give Red Apple® products a standout style that rivals even the best fireworks for New Year's.
