Axios Philadelphia is an Axios company.

Philadelphians looking to buy Fourth of July fireworks may face hiked prices and potentially less variety this year, according to Phantom Fireworks CEO Bruce Zoldan.

The big picture: Inflation is driving up prices for most summer activities, from airline travel to children's camps to fireworks, Axios' Emily Peck and Kelly Tyko report.

Between the lines: Zoldan adds that his company is having to pay "more for the labor we can get."

Despite price hikes, Zoldan says sales are about the same as last year.
