Fireworks in Cleveland: While the state legislature recently passed a law allowing fireworks to be set off on certain days, the law allows cities to further restrict the use of fireworks or to prohibit them completely. Therefore, the city of Cleveland may continue to enforce its fireworks prohibitions that are already on the books. Setting off fireworks is prohibited in Cleveland. Sparklers are allowed. To learn more about the prohibition go to #10 in the unnecessary noise ordinance 605.10. First offense is a minor misdemeanor with a fine of $150. Subsequent offenses face stiffer fines and possible jail time.
