Very neat!

The mushroom cloud is not really a typical firework - but looks fantastic and well timed with the mix of cloud and fireworks.

Looks like it's at Burning Man - or possibly something like SimNuke, an event my Oakland warehousemate threw in 2005 on the 60th anniversary of the Trinity Test. They make snow on mountains with giant mole fans (about 5 feet tall) spraying water. We kept some of the 12 fans at our warehouse, and for the event they were arranged in a half-circle to spray fuel into the center to ignite a mushroom cloud much bigger than the OP. The event was covered by Wired Magazine, Maxim Magazine, etc. I have image files of it somewhere, also posted years ago on SaidIt.

Even a firework looks better than that pathetic practical effects nuke in Oppenheimer.
