KCAP Heads Back to Sky Wars 2026 for the Championship of Champions

Sky Wars just announced its 2026 competitor lineup, and KCAP’s own Donnie Toms is heading back to Innsbrook, Missouri for a special Championship of Champions showcase in the Pro Division. Donnie Toms will compete alongside Tyler Cole of IPC Displays (the 2022 Sky Wars champion) and John Mikrut Jr. of RKM (the 2025 champion) — a rare lineup bringing together past winners from across the years.

Donnie and the KCAP team won Sky Wars’ Pro Display division back in 2023 with a five-thousand-device, Taylor Swift-themed show that set a world record for the largest fireworks display shot on COBRA Firing Systems. This time, he’s bringing a brand new show to the stage.

Save the date: Sky Wars 2026 lights up Innsbrook, Missouri on September 26, 2026.

SkyWars 2023 update:  CONGRATULATIONS to Donnie Toms with Kansas City Area Pyrotechnicians on officially winning our second-ever Pro Display competition division! Thank you Donnie & team for sticking it out with us an additional night to present a killer show that we think would impress Taylor herself. 

Pyrotechnic club Kansas City Area Pyrotechnicians (KCAP) and team lead Donnie Toms had much to celebrate when their massive Taylor Swift-themed firework display successfully launched on Sunday, September 24th in Innsbrook, Missouri after it was delayed 24 hours due to a lightning storm. The show, which contained five thousand pyrotechnic devices and featured several rarely-seen elements, not only earned Toms and his team the Pro Display competition win of the 2023 Sky Wars: US Fireworks Championship; it is also recognized as the largest pyrotechnics display in the world to date to be shot using COBRA Firing Systems.
