Minnesota Officials Clarify Legal, Illegal Fireworks Ahead of Holiday
Woodbury officials are reminding residents about Minnesota's fireworks regulations as holiday celebrations approach, emphasizing the clear distinction between legal and illegal pyrotechnics in the state.
According to state law, fireworks that fly in the air or explode are strictly prohibited. This includes popular items such as bottle rockets and firecrackers, which are commonly available for purchase in neighboring states.
Legal fireworks in Minnesota are limited to ground-based devices and handheld items such as sparklers, party poppers, and other products that create showers of light while remaining on the ground. These items are readily available at local retail stores.
Officials emphasized that even possession of illegal fireworks within state borders violates Minnesota law, regardless of where they were purchased. The transportation of such items into the state is also prohibited.
The clarification comes as part of ongoing efforts to ensure public safety during holiday celebrations while helping residents comply with state regulations.
