When are fireworks allowed in the city limits of Louisville, TN?

LOUSIVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – Residents living in Louisville city limits have new rules about fireworks for this year’s Fourth of July and New Year’s holidays after a new ordinance was passed.

The Louisville Board of Mayor and Alderman approved the ordinance on June 11, which will allow fireworks to be set off for a limited period of time.


Between July 1 and July 4, fireworks can be set off between 10 am and 11 pm, except on July 4, when the hours are from 10 am to 11:30 pm For New Year’s celebrations, Fireworks can be set off from 8 pm on December 31 to 1 pm on January 1. During the rest of the year, fireworks remain prohibited.

For those excited to set off some fireworks, please note that the ordinance also prohibits the use of fireworks within 600 feet of any church, assisted living facility, nursing home, hospital, funeral home, public or private school academic structure and within 200 feet of any place where fireworks are stored or sold.

Additionally, although it may seem like common sense, the ordinance states that lighting, throwing, or throwing fireworks into any motor vehicle is prohibited.

Safety should also be considered when enjoying fireworks. In 2022, more than 10,300 people were treated in emergency rooms across the United States and 11 people died from fireworks, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. 73 percent of them occurred in the weeks before and after the July 4 holiday.
