All fireworks, including safe-and-sane varieties, are illegal in Santa Rosa. The city enforces a complete ban due to wildfire risk in the region.
Santa Rosa prohibits the sale, possession, and use of all fireworks within city limits. This includes safe-and-sane fireworks that may be legal in other California cities. The ban is enforced year-round due to the significant wildfire risk in Sonoma County, particularly following devastating fires in recent years. The Santa Rosa Fire Department conducts enforcement operations around the Fourth of July.
Possession or use of fireworks is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000. Illegal fireworks may be confiscated and destroyed.
