If you plan to use wedding sparklers or other consumer fireworks at your celebration, it’s important to understand what is permitted under Virginia law and how local restrictions may apply.

Generally, only limited categories of fireworks are allowed for personal use under Virginia firework law. Many cities and counties have banned all fireworks, so checking the rules where your event will be held is essential to avoid fines or legal issues.
