In Urban Honolulu, fireworks are controlled by ROH Chapter 20 Article 6 sections 20-6.1 through 20-6.14, licensing display and firecracker operators while banning consumer aerial devices.
Urban Honolulu sits within the consolidated City and County, so Chapter 20 Article 6 applies directly. Section 20-6.1 defines the classes of fireworks, 20-6.4 licenses those who import, store, or sell display fireworks and firecrackers, 20-6.12 governs display fireworks permits, and 20-6.13 governs firecracker permits. Consumer fireworks including fountains, sparklers, and aerial devices are prohibited. Waikiki and downtown venues regularly host permitted professional displays, which must meet NFPA 1123 and 1126 standards, secure fallout zones, and coordinate site safety with HFD.
Unlicensed importation or sale, unpermitted displays, and possession of illegal aerial consumer fireworks can trigger criminal charges, fines, seizure of inventory, and permit revocation.
