Naperville prohibits consumer fireworks under Title 10, Chapter 7 (Fireworks; Explosives). Illinois state law bans most consumer fireworks. Only novelty items like sparklers and snakes are legal at the state level, but municipalities may further restrict even those.
Naperville Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 7 regulates fireworks and explosives. Illinois is one of the most restrictive states for consumer fireworks, banning aerial fireworks, firecrackers, roman candles, bottle rockets, and similar devices. Only novelty items such as sparklers, snakes, and smoke devices are legal at the state level under the Illinois Pyrotechnics Use Act. Naperville follows and may further restrict these state provisions. Professional fireworks displays require permits from the Naperville Fire Department. Possession of illegal fireworks within city limits is a violation. The Naperville Fire Department and Police Department jointly enforce fireworks laws, particularly around the Fourth of July.
Possession or discharge of illegal fireworks: fines under Title 10, Chapter 7. State-level violations under 425 ILCS 35 (Pyrotechnics Use Act) may also apply, including Class A misdemeanor charges.
