City of Mishawaka Fireworks Regulations

The City of Mishawaka Municipal Code Chapter 46, Article 4, Section 46-90 determines the times during which residents may legally discharge consumer-grade fireworks. This also closely follows the St. Joseph County Ordinance 92.15 as it relates to the dates and times when consumer-grade fireworks may be set off. The definition of “consumer fireworks” is defined in the Indiana Code IC 22-11-14-1.

In summary, persons wishing to discharge consumer-grade fireworks may legally do so only during the following times…

• On the 4th of July, between 10 a.m. and midnight.
• On the five days before and after July 4th (June 29-July 3; July 5-9), between 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset.
• During New Year’s, between the hours of 10 a.m. on December 31 and 1 a.m. on January 1.
