Cheyenne prohibits the discharge of consumer fireworks within city limits year-round, including around Independence Day and Cheyenne Frontier Days, with enforcement by Cheyenne Police and Cheyenne Fire Rescue.
Cheyenne City Code prohibits consumer fireworks within municipal boundaries, including bottle rockets, firecrackers, Roman candles, and aerial repeaters. Wyoming statute permits fireworks sales at licensed stands but allows local governments to restrict discharge inside city limits, and Cheyenne does so year-round. Only professionally permitted public displays, such as those organized for Cheyenne Frontier Days or Independence Day, are allowed and require state and local approval. Cheyenne Police and Cheyenne Fire Rescue jointly enforce violations, which spike during late June and early July when High Plains wildfire risk is high and grass cures.
Discharging fireworks in city limits is a municipal violation with fines commonly running one to seven hundred fifty dollars, and reckless use causing fire or injury can lead to criminal charges and full restitution.
