Happy New Year Fireworks Are Legal Tonight and Tomorrow
FIREWORKS IN FLORIDA:
Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 140, which created three “Designated Holidays” where shooting off fireworks are now legal. Those three days are Independence day (4th of July) New Year’s Eve (December 31) and New Year’s Day (January 1).
This bill specifically notes that it’s not intended to supersede any local fireworks laws, so you need to be aware of any restrictions in your area. For example, St. Johns County DOES NOT allow fireworks to be shot on the beach.
As a courtesy to your neighbors, you may want to let them know that you are planning to set them off so they can prepare. Many pets are skittish to the sound of explosions and some people may be suffering from health related issues.
