Virginia legalized consumer fireworks in 2021 (HB 2201, VA Code §27-97). Loudoun County may restrict discharge hours and locations.
Consumer fireworks were legalized in Virginia in 2021 under VA Code §27-97 et seq. Aerial fireworks, firecrackers, Roman candles, and rockets are all legal for adults 18+. Localities can restrict discharge hours and locations. A $0.12/unit fire safety fee on consumer fireworks funds fire departments. The State Fire Marshal can prohibit fireworks during extreme fire danger conditions. Loudoun County may impose additional restrictions on discharge locations (e.g., not within 600 ft of fireworks retailers, hospitals, or certain structures).
Illegal discharge in restricted area: $100 to $500. Underage purchase: penalty for retailer. Fire safety fee evasion: state enforcement.
