When Can You Shoot Off Fireworks in Shreveport?

The Fourth of July Means Fireworks Will Lighting Up the Skies All Over the Ark-La-Tex.

One of the most thrilling experiences in Shreveport is hitting up a Fireworks stand and loading up on all of your favorite fireworks. There are several rules you need to follow if you plan on popping fireworks during the Fourth of July holiday.

If you're having friends and family over for a good time and you already know that fireworks are part of the plan you need to make sure that you follow all of the rules especially if you live within Shreveport city limits.

These rules are set in place to protect you and keep you safe. We have all heard about a rogue firework going off. It is a scary thought, right? I remember growing up thinking that if I launched a firework my hair would catch on fire and I would lose a finger. My parents traumatized me with spooky 4th of July legendary tales.

Any time you deal with something potentially flammable, you should probably be careful. Also, let's remember, that you can't shoot a gun in the air and think that everything will be fine and dandy, you will be arrested.
