All fireworks banned in Santa Barbara

All types of fireworks are banned in the City of Santa Barbara. The possession and use of all types of fireworks is illegal in the City of Santa Barbara.  Fire officials will pursue and issue citations to anyone caught using fireworks.  This includes the so-called “safe & sane” fireworks.  Last year 90% of firework injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms involved fireworks that are marketed as “safe & sane.”

The City of Santa Barbara Fire Department encourages people to celebrate Independence Day by attending the professional fireworks show conducted by the City of Santa Barbara on West Beach or the Goleta show at Girsh Park.

Residents are encouraged to enjoy professional fireworks shows
