Fireworks at home
Florida law lets people use fireworks on three designated holidays: New Year’s Day, Independence Day (July 4) and New Year’s Eve, under section 791.08, Florida Statutes. The statute says it does not override local government rules, so check before you light anything, and never set off fireworks at the city’s event.

- Plan for next July 4 at Lakefront Park; we will post the 2027 details when the city announces them.
- Arrive early: roads near the lake close at 2 p.m. on the day.
