Under state law, fireworks may be used from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. June 1 through July 8. On certain days, the hours they’re allowed are longer.

On July 4, and the Saturdays and Sundays before and after it, fireworks can be used from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., according to the state law.

Fireworks may be sold from June 1 to July 8 from permanent buildings; they may be sold from June 13 to July 8 in temporary structures.
