Delano allows the sale and discharge of state-approved 'Safe and Sane' fireworks during a permitted Independence Day window. Fireworks stands are subject to Development Code §20.11.160 and require a Community Development Department permit issued only to qualifying nonprofit groups.
All other fireworks — including bottle rockets, firecrackers, aerial shells, M-80s, and any fireworks classified as 'Dangerous' under California Health and Safety Code §§12500–12727 — are prohibited within city limits. Selling without a stand permit, selling outside the permitted window, or discharging fireworks outside the Fourth of July window can result in citation, stand closure, and seizure.
Possession or discharge of 'Dangerous Fireworks' is a misdemeanor under H&S Code §12677 with administrative fines up to $50,000 under §12557.
