Consumer fireworks are legal in Sunrise on July 4, December 31, and January 1 under Florida's fireworks law (Fla. Stat. Ch. 791). Sunrise's fire code references Ch. 791, and the city cannot ban those three holidays.
Florida's 2020 fireworks law (codified in Fla. Stat. Ch. 791) legalized consumer fireworks for personal use on three designated holidays: July 4, December 31, and January 1. Sunrise's fire code (Chapter 6) references Fla. Stat. Ch. 791, and the city cannot prohibit fireworks on those dates, though it may regulate discharge hours and locations. Outside those holidays, only sparklers and approved novelties on the State Fire Marshal's list are legal year-round. Professional displays require a State Fire Marshal permit and Sunrise Fire-Rescue approval. Discharging near structures or during any drought burn restriction remains unsafe and enforceable.
Illegal fireworks discharge outside the three designated holidays is a second-degree misdemeanor under Florida law, punishable by up to a $500 fine and 60 days. Reckless use causing injury can bring felony charges.
