Fireworks
Fireworks laws change at state, county and city lines.Track them in the free LawLert iPhone app: it alerts you when you cross into a state where they differ, or into a city or county with its own fireworks ban where LawLert has the local rule, and when they change in your state. No account.Get the appConsumer ("permissible") fireworks are legal statewide in Louisiana, but retail sales are allowed only from noon June 16 through midnight July 5 and noon December 15 through midnight January 1 (La. R.S. 51:652). Parishes and municipalities may regulate or prohibit sale, use and possession outright (R.S. 51:660) — check the local parish or city. Statewide, fireworks may not be ignited within 1,000 feet of a church, hospital, school, public building or fireworks retailer, or thrown from a vehicle ($500 and/or up to 6 months). Cherry bombs, aerial bombs, oversized Roman candles and sky lanterns are banned outright (R.S. 51:651.1).
