Use long exposure... as long as possible... aim your camera, cover the lens with a ball cap and pull the cap away when a firework is launched.. do this on a tripod and either cover the lens before u press the shutter button or let the timer open the shutter for you...

You need to be in as dark an area as possible...

Don't bother with flash. ;)

Here are a couple of links I found through a Google Search.
