Ceres allows California 'Safe and Sane' fireworks (state-licensed, non-aerial, non-explosive) around the July 4th period. All other fireworks — anything that flies into the air or explodes — are illegal, with steep fines: $2,500 first offense, $3,500 second, $4,500 third.
Under CA Health & Safety Code §12500 et seq., cities may allow only Safe and Sane fireworks; Ceres permits them seasonally. Devices lacking the California Safe and Sane seal, or that launch or explode, are illegal year-round. Ceres police run illegal-fireworks enforcement around the holiday.
Illegal fireworks: $2,500 (1st), $3,500 (2nd), $4,500 (3rd+). Safe and Sane allowed only during the permitted seasonal window.
