Peoria restricts fireworks use. Consumer fireworks (permissible consumer fireworks) may be used on designated days around certain holidays but are otherwise prohibited. Display fireworks always require permits.
Arizona law allows the sale and use of permissible consumer fireworks (ground-based, non-aerial) on certain designated days, typically around July 4th, New Year's Eve, and other holidays. Peoria may impose additional local restrictions. Aerial fireworks, firecrackers, and roman candles are prohibited without professional display permits. All fireworks are prohibited in wildfire-risk areas during declared fire restrictions. Users must be 16 or older.
Illegal fireworks use carries fines. Use during fire restrictions may result in criminal charges. Property owners are liable for fire damage.
