Fireworks
Fireworks laws change at state, county and city lines.Track them in the free LawLert iPhone app: it alerts you when you cross into a state where they differ, or into a city or county with its own fireworks ban where LawLert has the local rule, and when they change in your state. No account.Get the appConsumer fireworks are legal to buy and use statewide in Mississippi, but retail sales are allowed only May 23–July 12 and December 5–January 9 (Miss. Code § 45-13-9, as amended by 2025 S.B. 2210). No sales to anyone under 12. It is unlawful to ignite or discharge fireworks within 600 feet of a church, hospital or school, within 75 feet of where fireworks are stored or offered for sale, or from, into or at a motor vehicle. Violations are a misdemeanor — up to $1,000 first offense, $2,500 second, $5,000 third (reduced from a felony in 2025). Municipalities and county boards of supervisors may regulate or prohibit fireworks locally (§ 45-13-13).
