Consumer fireworks such as fountains, sparklers, and aerials are prohibited for East Honolulu residents. Only licensed displays and permitted firecrackers under Honolulu's fireworks article are allowed.
ROH Chapter 20, Article 6 governs all fireworks in the City and County of Honolulu. Sections 20-6.1 through 20-6.14 define fireworks, require licensing to import, store, or sell display fireworks and firecrackers (Sec. 20-6.4), and establish separate permits for display fireworks (Sec. 20-6.12) and firecrackers (Sec. 20-6.13). Consumer aerial devices, fountains, and novelty items are not permitted for private use in neighborhoods like Hawaii Kai, Portlock, and Kalama Valley. Cultural firecracker use requires a permit, and public professional displays over Maunalua Bay or similar venues require a licensed operator and a display permit.
Illegal possession, sale, or ignition can trigger citations, confiscation, and criminal penalties under Chapter 20.
