MINNEAPOLIS — Rainy weather could shut down fireworks shows on July 4 and that might spark people to ignite their own backyard performances.
But before trying that in the North Star State we wanted to know: What fireworks are legal in Minnesota? Good Question.
Before colors burst in the sky, stores like Fireworks Nation in North Hudson, Wisconsin are nearly bursting with excited customers, many of whom are taking their haul back to Minnesota.
“You don’t have to go far,” said one Minnesotan who loaded up on fireworks for a show in his home state.
“This is of course our busiest week,” said co-owner Anders Nelson.
He says that many customers ask questions about what fireworks are legal to use across the river from his store. There’s even an entire section inside just with Minnesota-legal fireworks.
“The legal things in Minnesota are ground emitting showers of sparks. All these fountains, different sizes, sparklers, smoke, kids love the smoke,” he said.
