While bordering states can legally sell explosive and aerial fireworks, their use in Minnesota is illegal. The use of fireworks is governed by State Statute 624.20 which states “fireworks that explode or are aerial are not legal for public sale, possession, or use, except with a permit and by a certified operator.” Facts on legal or illegal fireworks can be found on the Minnesota State Fire Marshal’s website. Please keep fireworks away from children, read and follow the instructions on each device, only use in a safe location, and light only one device at a time.
