Minnesota allows only non-explosive, non-aerial consumer fireworks such as sparklers, cones and fountains (Minn. Stat. 624.20). Aerials, firecrackers and bottle rockets are illegal statewide. In Woodbury, no person may discharge fireworks in any public site or open space except by Public Safety Department permit.
Woodbury does not appear to publish its own list of legal fireworks; the city follows Minnesota Statutes 624.20 to 624.25. Minn. Stat. 624.20, subd. 1(c) exempts certain items from the definition of regulated 'fireworks,' making them legal for consumers: wire or wood sparklers containing not more than 100 grams of mixture per item; other non-explosive, non-aerial sparkling items (cones, fountains, ground spinners, wheels, illuminating torches, flitter sparklers) containing 75 grams or less of chemical mixture per tube or 500 grams or less total for multiple tubes; plus snakes, glow worms, smoke devices, and trick noisemakers such as party poppers and snappers. Everything that explodes or leaves the ground remains illegal statewide: firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, Roman candles, bottle rockets, chasers, mines, shells and similar aerial devices. The statute bars sale to anyone under 18 and prohibits using consumer fireworks on public property. Woodbury reinforces this locally: the city code prohibits any person from possessing, firing, discharging or setting off any fireworks or explosives in any public site or open space except for displays authorized by permit from the Public Safety Department. Permitted public displays must be approved in advance by the Woodbury Public Safety Department.
Selling, possessing, or using illegal (aerial or explosive) fireworks violates Minn. Stat. 624.20-624.25, generally a misdemeanor. Discharging fireworks in a Woodbury public site or open space without a Public Safety Department permit violates the city code. Enforcement is by the Woodbury Public Safety Department; report concerns to 651-714-3600.
