Nebraska allows only 1.4G consumer fireworks, and Sarpy County plus its cities each set their own discharge dates and hours around July 4 and New Year's. Flying sky lanterns are banned statewide, and retail sales run only in fixed summer and winter windows.
Nebraska legalized 1.4G consumer fireworks, so ground items, fountains, small firecrackers, and approved aerials are lawful, but flying sky lanterns are banned statewide. Each jurisdiction sets discharge windows: unincorporated Sarpy County and Springfield allow June 25 through July 3 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and until midnight on July 4; Gretna starts at 10 a.m.; La Vista permits a shorter window and no New Year's shooting, while Papillion and Bellevue allow limited New Year's discharge. Retail sales run only June 24 through July 5 and December 28 through January 1.
Discharging outside the allowed dates or hours, in a park, or where a city bans fireworks is a citable offense; fireworks noise complaints in Sarpy County go to 402-593-4111, not 911.
