Description
As the year draws to a close, Floridians will start to notice more stores and pop-up tents selling sparklers, dazzlers and other pyrotechnical novelties to celebrate New Year's Eve.
However, not all kinds of fireworks are legal to buy - or use - in the state.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law in April 2020 that allows Floridians to use fireworks legally – but only on three days out of the year.
Those days are Independence Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
Basically, under state statutes, the types of fireworks people are allowed to set off on those three holidays are firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, roman candles, dago bombs, blank cartridges, toy cannons and fireworks containing any explosives or flammable compound.
