As you enjoy the upcoming 4th of July festivities please take great care if you choose to discharge fireworks in Harrisburg. Dry conditions persist in our area. Extra caution should be used with aerial fireworks especially if there are windy conditions. 

Fireworks are permitted from June 30 through July 4, from 12:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. on July 3, July 4, Fridays, and Saturdays; otherwise 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. on other days during the specified period.

State Law and City Ordinance state that fireworks may be prohibited or banned if the South Dakota Grassland Fire Danger category for our area is at Very High or Extreme. The Grassland Fire Danger Map can be found here: https://www.weather.gov/unr/rfd

Please remember to clean up while also being careful to not move discharged fireworks that are still hot. In addition to burning yourself you may also create a fire hazard.

Lastly, while loud fireworks are permitted your neighbors who work different shifts, have sleeping children, or other concerns might not appreciate them. Please be mindful and considerate of your neighbors.

The City Fireworks Display on Thursday, July 4th, 2024, begins around 9:30pm and will be located at Central Park. See more information on our Facebook page.
