| September 2007 | Artsfest display a huge success. |
| A Dragonfire firework display was watched by a huge crowd in Birmingham's centenary square. Fireworks were fired from four rooftop locations around the square, as enthralled spectators enjoyed the performance of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. A giant RAF logo which turned into an enormous Catherine wheel accompanied The Dambusters March as part of a tribute to veterans attending the event. |

| March 2007 - | Kenwood House summer concerts cancelled. |
| Unfortunately the Kenwood Concerts, which have run successfully for decades, have been cancelled this year. A small number of objectors to the licence caused Camden Council to impose conditions that have made the venture cease to be viable. It is very sad that a handful of people can put an end to an event that has brought pleasure to many tens of thousands each year. If sufficient representation is made it is possible that there may yet be a future for the concerts in 2008, so feel free to contact the licensing division of Camden Council with your views. |

| March 2007 - | EICA display spans Birmingham rooftops. |
| Birmingham hosts the European Indoor Championships in Athletics at the National Indoor Arena. Dragonfire were commissioned to perform a display fired from five locations in the city centre, set to a musical soundtrack, as a send-off for the competitors and organisers of the largest Athletics to be hosted in the UK before the Olympics. A video extract of this display can be accessed through the home page. |

| Jan 2 2007 | New Year Display "spectacular" |
| Despite ferocious conditions during the setup, Dragonfire's New Year display for the City of Birmingham went ahead and was fired in full. The result was described as "spectacular" by the head of Event Services for the council. The display, launched from rooftops in the city centre, used large volleys of aerial shells to light up the sky for 5 minutes. |
