• IllinoisInfo

  Illinois has no statewide season: novelties and sparklers are legal year-round where they are not banned locally, while true consumer fireworks need a local permit — apply about 15 days ahead — and are allowed only on approved dates and at approved locations. Municipalities may bar fireworks entirely — Chicago, for example.
