St. George heavily restricts fireworks due to the arid climate and wildfire risk. Consumer fireworks are only legal during designated periods around July 4th and July 24th (Pioneer Day), and restrictions apply in many areas.
Utah state law permits consumer fireworks (Class C) during specific periods around Independence Day and Pioneer Day (July 24th). However, St. George and Washington County frequently impose additional restrictions due to extreme fire danger. Aerial fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited statewide. During high fire danger, the city may ban all fireworks through emergency proclamation. Restricted areas include hillsides, wildland-urban interface zones, and areas designated by the Fire Marshal.
Illegal fireworks use results in fines up to $1,000. Starting a fire with fireworks may result in criminal charges and liability for suppression costs.
