Mobile allows fireworks within city limits only 4 days per year: July 3, July 4, December 31, and January 1. The ordinance was adopted in 2023. Fireworks are prohibited all other days.
Mobile's fireworks ordinance, adopted in 2023, restricts consumer fireworks use to four specific days per year: July 3, July 4, December 31 (New Year's Eve), and January 1 (New Year's Day). On all other days, fireworks are prohibited within city limits. Alabama state law permits consumer fireworks generally, but Mobile exercises local authority to restrict use. Professional public displays require fire department permits. Fireworks may not be discharged near hospitals, gas stations, or other sensitive facilities.
Using fireworks on non-designated days results in fines. Fireworks causing property damage or injury carry additional charges.
