Westland follows Michigan PA 256 of 2011 as amended by PA 65 of 2018, allowing consumer fireworks only on 12 designated holidays and adjacent days during set hours.
Under Michigan law, Westland cannot ban consumer-grade fireworks outright but has adopted a local ordinance restricting their use to the days and times allowed by PA 65 of 2018. Consumer fireworks may be used on 12 designated national holidays plus the day before and after each, generally between 11:00 a.m. and 11:45 p.m., and until 1:00 a.m. on New Year's Day and the days surrounding the Fourth of July. Use of consumer fireworks outside these windows is a municipal civil infraction with fines up to 1,000 dollars. Fireworks may not be discharged on public property, school property, church property, or another person property without permission. Igniting fireworks while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances is prohibited.
