Ribbon cuttings symbolize fresh starts, new ventures, and exciting milestones, whether it’s the grand opening of a small business, the unveiling of a public project, or the launch of a
community initiative. While scissors and applause are standard, adding the ceremonial blast of a signal cannon takes the moment to an entirely new level. It transforms the ribbon cutting into a dramatic, unforgettable celebration that captures the importance of the occasion.

A Powerful Start to Something New

Firing a signal cannon immediately after the ribbon is cut creates a surge of energy that echoes the excitement of the crowd and the pride of the organizers. It marks the official opening in a memorable and commanding way, turning a symbolic gesture into a moment of true impact. Whether for a business, nonprofit, park, or public facility, the blast adds a wow factor that won’t be forgotten.

Command Attention and Build Buzz

Signal cannon blasts naturally draw attention, making them ideal for creating buzz during ribbon cuttings. Local media, passersby, and attendees are more likely to tune in when a powerful, thunderous sound punctuates the event. It signals, quite literally, that something important just happened, amplifying your grand opening and making it newsworthy.

Perfect for Public and Private Ceremonies

From small family-run businesses to government infrastructure projects, signal cannons bring a universal sense of occasion. Whether the event is attended by just a few key stakeholders or an entire town, the cannon creates a unified moment of celebration and significance, bringing everyone together in shared excitement.

The Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon uses blank charges and contains no projectiles,
making it a safe and practical alternative to fireworks or pyrotechnics. It’s ideal for use in
commercial districts, town centers, campuses, and outdoor venues where safety and simplicity are key. Its historic look also adds a touch of sophistication and tradition to any ceremonial backdrop.
