The only dates that citizens are allowed to set off fireworks within the city limits are July 1, 2, 3, and 4 each year and only between the hours of 12:00 noon and 11:00 pm. The only exceptions to this are party favor devices such as champagne bottles, poppers, snaps,... and confetti pistols.

No person, at any time, shall set off, ignite, discharge or use, or possess for such purpose, bottle rockets within the city or any of the city parks. A bottle rocket is defined by ordinance as any device that contains less than one-eighth ounce of chlorate of potash and sulphur with a total body weight of less than one-half ounce and with a body length of less than two inches, including any modifications to such device, with a launching stick attached to the body.

We hope that everyone has a safe and joyous 4th of July this year.
