FIREWORKS


Residents and visitors celebrating the Independence Day holiday in the City of Lacey are encouraged to do so in a safe and enjoyable manner that is within the law.  A majority of voters approved propositions to ban consumer fireworks, which prohibited the sale and discharge of fireworks within the city limits.

Prohibited fireworks include those that are typically referred to as safe and sane, including sparklers. Novelty devices such as snakes, glowworms, and party poppers are permitted.

 
Professional fireworks displays are unaffected by the community’s fireworks ordinance. A complete copy of the ordinance can be found in the Lacey Municipal Code.

For more information, please contact Lacey Police Department at (360) 459-4333.
