As we prepare to celebrate America this weekend, here's some helpful information from Moorhead Fire Department on fireworks--legal and illegal. Stay on the legal side! Remember our neighbors with PTSD that are impacted by fireworks. Thanks for your consideration, Moorhead!
Certain non-explosive and non-aerial fireworks are permitted in Minnesota. Examples of legal fireworks:
- Sparklers
- Cones and tubes that emit sparks
- Novelty items like "snakes" and party poppers
Anything that flies or explodes is illegal. Examples of illegal fireworks:
- Firecrackers
- Bottle rockets
- Missiles
- Roman candles
- Mortars and shells
Please enjoy the holiday weekend - leave the big fireworks to the pros and attend Moorhead Business Association's July 4 fireworks presentation!
