Some RestrictionsFireworks
Bend Code 5.30.000 says fireworks use must conform to Oregon law and bans sale, possession, or use by anyone under 18. Oregon law (ORS 480.110–480.165) bans consumer use of any firework that flies into the air, explodes, or travels far on the ground — so bottle rockets, Roman candles, firecrackers, and most aerials are illegal without a state permit.
