Consumer fireworks are prohibited in West Palm Beach year-round except on the three FL §791.08 designated holidays: July 4, December 31, and January 1. Sparklers and novelties remain legal year-round under FL §791.01.
FL §791.08 (HB 1059, 2020) preempts local fireworks bans only on those three holidays. Outside those dates, West Palm Beach Fire Rescue and PBSO enforce the state ban on aerial and explosive fireworks. Discharging fireworks within 150 feet of a fireworks retail location, or at any park, beach, or public roadway, is prohibited. HOAs and condo associations may restrict fireworks even on permitted holidays.
First-degree misdemeanor under FL §791.06: up to $1,000 fine and 1 year in jail. Civil fines from the city for nuisance may add $250-$500 per occurrence.
