Iowa Firework Laws and Regulations
Fireworks are a fun and exciting way to celebrate special occasions. However, they can also be dangerous if not handled properly. That’s why Iowa has strict laws and regulations governing the sale, possession, and use of fireworks in the state. We’ll explore the Iowa firework laws and regulations to help you understand what’s legal and what’s not.
Legal Fireworks in Iowa
In Iowa, only certain types of fireworks are legal. These include sparklers, snakes, smoke devices, and other novelty items that don’t explode or fly through the air. The state also allows certain types of consumer fireworks, such as firecrackers, Roman candles, and bottle rockets. However, these consumer fireworks can only be sold and used during specific times of the year.
Illegal Fireworks in Iowa
There are also several types of fireworks that are illegal in Iowa. These include any fireworks that explode or fly through the air, such as M-80s, cherry bombs, and aerial shells. Possessing or using these types of fireworks can result in fines and even criminal charges.
It’s important to note that just because a firework is legal in another state doesn’t mean it’s legal in Iowa. Always check the state’s laws and regulations before purchasing or using fireworks.

Customers Love Our Sparklers
from 454 reviewsLasted plenty of time to get everyone together to do a sparkler run through.
These sparklers worked great! They were easy to light and they stayed out for plenty of time to make sure everyone's was going before our going away from our wedding reception with time for photos too
Everything arrived perfectly. It was for gender reveal. It was the correct color. There was no indication of what color they were. Perfect. Soo much confetti.
Sparklers arrived on time and were perfect!
Fast shipping and the sparklers stay lit a long time. We got the 20”. They were hard to light with a lighter but were easy to light with other sparklers.
Customer service was excellent. In a world of automated customer service it was refreshing to communicate directly with a person. Ordered wrong size, return and reordering process easy.
I was worried with about 85 guests that 90 secs wouldn't be long enough. But we had a lot of lighters & small groups to make it work absolutely perfect ❤️ these are beyond worth the money, lit quickly & easily. My 11 yr old was one of the ones lighting her group so they light well for even her to do. Thank you for the best wedding exit ever ❤️
These sparklers turned out perfectly for our grand exit at our wedding! They lasted long enough to get everyone (60 people) lit up and held on for getting good pictures!
I ordered the long #36 sparklers for the exit of our wedding. They looked so great & I know the pictures are going to be amazing! I was told they were easy to light & they burned a long time. They also were delivered super quick! Very satisfied with this purchase!
I ordered these sparkers for my wedding and the long ones burn longer than 4 minutes !! It also came with a free smaller pack of sparkers, but I didn’t see how long those burned! These are perfect for my wedding exit and can be used during retakes with the same light
My daughter recently got married and decided close to the wedding she wanted a sparkler send off. I did a Google search and found Direct Sparklers and they stepped up to the plate. Not only was the website great with info (which size sparkler?!?), but they shipped it out that day and got them to us in time! Well done my sparkler friends, well done!
These sparklers were perfect for our wedding send off and they worked amazing. Also had very quick shipping. Thank you
I was hesitant to trust a small business rather than somewhere like amazon, but the product was great and it was delivered on time.
