The City’s fireworks ordinance specifies the day, times, and locations for fireworks in the city limits. Fireworks in the city are permitted only on July 3rd and 4th from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Fireworks (igniting, firing, exploding, discharging) must be used entirely on private property. The use of fireworks on all public streets, cul-de-sacs, roadways, public alleys, sidewalks, parks, public parking lots, and any public property within the City of Maryville is prohibited. While many residents are looking forward to using fireworks to celebrate the July 4 holiday, many other residents are uneasy about their return – including those suffering with PTSD and those who are concerned with the impact of the noise on their pets and wildlife. Following the city’s ordinances will help keep the negative impacts on neighbors to a minimum while giving the community an opportunity to enjoy celebrating together.
