Colorado law CRS Section 12-28-101 bans all aerial fireworks statewide. Littleton follows state law allowing only permissible fireworks (ground-based items like sparklers and fountains). Arapahoe County burn bans may prohibit all fireworks use during Stage 2 restrictions.
Littleton follows Colorado state fireworks law (CRS Section 12-28-101), which prohibits all aerial fireworks including bottle rockets, roman candles, and mortars. Only permissible fireworks may be sold and used, including sparklers, ground spinners, fountains, and smoke devices. During Arapahoe County Stage 2 burn bans, all fireworks use including permissible types is prohibited. Professional fireworks displays require a permit from South Metro Fire Rescue. Western Welcome Week and other city events may feature professional displays under special permits. Littleton straddles Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, so the applicable burn ban depends on the property's location.
Illegal fireworks: Class 2 misdemeanor under state law, up to $1,000 fine and 90 days jail. Violating burn ban restrictions: additional fire code penalties.
