Fireworks Ban in Effect

Lighting fireworks anywhere in Herriman is currently prohibited.

A statewide fireworks ban is now in effect following an executive order issued by Governor Spencer Cox.

Lighting fireworks of any kind anywhere in Herriman is illegal through July 21, 2026.

Professional display fireworks, including the Fort Herriman Towne Days fireworks show on June 27, are still permitted.

After July 5, the state will review conditions and evaluate next steps ahead of Pioneer Day.

What Is Still Allowed?

Although the statewide fireworks ban prohibits the use of state-approved fireworks, some items classified under Utah law as “exempt explosives” are still permitted.

  • Wire sparklers under 12 inches in length
  • Snappers
  • Model rockets
  • Toy pistol caps
  • Emergency signal flares
  • Snakes or glow worms
  • Party poppers
  • Trick noisemakers
  • Matches

These items are not considered fireworks under Utah Code and are not included in the statewide fireworks ban.

Fireworks retailers may also continue selling state-approved fireworks during the normal legal sales periods. The current ban applies to the use of fireworks, not their sale.
