Salt Lake City Council

Under a statewide restriction announced by Gov. Cox today, personal fireworks are prohibited throughout Salt Lake City and across Utah through July 5.

We are asking everyone to prioritize safety, follow the statewide restriction and help protect our neighborhoods, firefighters and natural spaces by celebrating without personal fireworks this summer.

We encourage residents looking for ways to celebrate to attend organized events, including @slcpubliclands’ drone shows on July 3 at Jordan Park and July 24 at Liberty Park.
