Indiana law lets you discharge consumer fireworks in Anderson from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, extended to midnight on holidays and December 31. Local ordinances may tighten hours, but the state protects fixed dates around July 4.
Anderson sits inside Indiana's permissive consumer-fireworks framework (IC 22-11-14). Statewide, fireworks may be used only between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m., except on federal holidays and New Year's Eve when the cutoff moves to midnight. Indiana lets cities and counties restrict the days and hours further, but it protects certain windows: June 29 through July 3 (5 p.m. to two hours after sunset) and July 4 (10 a.m. to midnight) cannot be prohibited locally. Discharge is limited to your own property or property where you have permission. Anderson residents inside city limits should also confirm no supplemental hours ordinance is in force before large displays.
Discharging outside legal hours is a Class C infraction; a repeat within five years escalates to a Class B misdemeanor.
