Consumer fireworks are legal statewide for adults 18 and older. Saginaw-area communities may restrict discharge, but state law bars any local ban on the days around New Year's, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.
Michigan's Fireworks Safety Act (2011 PA 256, amended by 2018 PA 65) legalized consumer-grade 1.4G fireworks for adults 18 and older. Saginaw County cities and townships, including the City of Saginaw and Frankenmuth, may adopt an ordinance limiting the hours and days of discharge, but MCL §28.457 protects specific windows no local rule can touch: New Year's Eve into 1 a.m., the Saturday and Sunday before Memorial Day and Labor Day, and June 29 through July 4, each until 11:45 p.m. Outside those windows local restrictions apply, and igniting on a prohibited day carries a $1,000 fine.
Discharging on a day a local ordinance prohibits carries a fine up to $1,000. Furnishing consumer fireworks to a minor and reckless use causing injury or damage bring separate penalties.
