Mississippi is one of the most permissive states for fireworks. MS Code Ann. §45-13-7 allows the sale and use of consumer fireworks statewide. Desoto County may impose local restrictions on hours of use, typically allowing fireworks from 10 AM to 11 PM with extended hours on July 4th and New Year's Eve.

Minimum age to purchase is 12 years old with some retailers setting higher limits. Mississippi does not ban any class of consumer fireworks.
