Fireworks at home: the rules

Florida law allows consumer fireworks on three designated holidays: Jan. 1, July 4 and Dec. 31, under section 791.08 of the Florida Statutes. The law does not override a fireworks ban written into a recorded homeowners association declaration of covenants, but an HOA board cannot adopt new rules to take the holiday right away.

What this means for you

  • Plan on July 4, evening, in Downtown Avalon Park; we will confirm 2027 times here.
  • Check the weekend guide in early July for the full lineup.
