The City of Shelbyville reminds residents of the city’s fireworks ordinance to help ensure a safe and respectful holiday for all.
Consumer fireworks may only be used within city limits on specific dates and times, in accordance with Indiana Code 22-11-14-10.5:
- June 29 through July 3 and July 5 through July 9, fireworks are permitted between 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset
- July 4, fireworks are permitted between 10 a.m. and midnight
Use of consumer fireworks outside of these designated times is not allowed and may result in penalties.
Additionally, for organized public or large-scale displays, compliance must adhere to NFPA safety standards, which are in place to protect public safety. Organizers of such displays should contact the Shelbyville Fire Department in advance to ensure all safety protocols are met.
Mayor Scott Furgeson encourages residents to be good neighbors, protect pets and sensitive individuals, and enjoy the holiday responsibly.
“This time of year is about celebrating our freedom, and that includes respecting each other and the safety of our community,” said Furgeson in a media release. “Let’s all do our part to make this Fourth of July safe and enjoyable for everyone.”
