People living in most cities in Indiana will be slapped with a citation if they set off fireworks after that date.

Each year, Indiana citizens are only allowed to set off fireworks from June 28 until July 9.

After that date, they have to pack up the pyrotechnics — but there’s one more holiday you can celebrate before the following summer.

Most Indiana residents are allowed to use fireworks again on New Year’s Eve.

On New Year’s Eve, fireworks are allowed from 10 am until 1 am on New Year’s Day.

State officials say limitations on fireworks are decided by local laws.

Most cities have rules banning fireworks set in place.

The potential fines also vary depending on city.

Throughout the state, setting off fireworks outside of the allowed times or locations generally results in a Class C infraction, which might lead to a fine of up to $500.

Plus, if someone causes property damage, they could be charged with a misdemeanor.

A misdemeanor could mean up to a year in jail and a fine costing up to $5,000.

In Indianapolis, citizens can set off fireworks from 5 pm until two hours after sunset every day from June 28 to July 9.

On July 4, fireworks can be lit until midnight.

In Pittsboro, residents are allowed to set off fireworks all year except for between 11 pm and 8 am.

Indiana’s protected times for fireworks

The state of Indiana allows the following times to set off fireworks:

  • June 29 to July 3 – from 5 pm until two hours after sunset (around 11:15 pm)
  • July 4 – from 10 am to midnight
  • July 5 to July 9 – from 5 pm until two hours after sunset (around 11:15 pm)
  • December 31 – from 10 am to 1 am on New Year’s Day

People who in live in Whitestown have more freedom with fireworks.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, residents can set off explosives from 5 pm until 10:30 pm Friday through Saturday.

There are extended hours on holidays — and different times for the Indianapolis 500.

No matter when they’re being set off, state officials warn people who use fireworks to prioritize safety.

“While many residents of Indiana enjoy fireworks for entertainment, the noise can be excessive for various individuals, pets, and wildlife,” stated the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.

“Take precautions to avoid upsetting neighbors and animals.”
