East Twin Cities

When celebrating the Fourth of July this summer, remember that it is illegal in Minnesota to sell, possess and use any fireworks that fly or explode. Some examples of illegal fireworks include firecrackers, bottle rockets and Roman candles.

However, certain non-explosive and non-aerial consumer fireworks are permitted. Examples include sparklers; cones and tubes that emit sparks; and novelty items like snakes and party poppers.
