IGNITE WITH PRECISION & CARE.
Understanding Indiana's firework regulations is the first step toward a legendary display. We provide the guidance you need to keep your celebration spectacular and safe.
The 18+ Mandate
By Indiana Law, you must be 18 years of age or older to purchase consumer fireworks. Valid government-issued photo ID is required for all transactions at every Big Bang Fireworks location.
Approved Locations
Fireworks may only be used on your own property, property where you have express permission, or at a site designated by your municipality.
Time Restrictions
Standard hours are 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Extensions apply for July 4th (until midnight) and New Year's Eve (until 1:00 AM).
Local Ordinances
Cities and counties may have additional restrictions. Always check with your local fire department before planning a display.
THE MASTER BLASTER SAFETY CHECKLIST
Establish the Zone
Clear a 30-foot radius for ground displays and 100-foot for aerials. Ensure no dry grass or debris is present.
Water Ready
Always have a connected garden hose or two buckets of water ready. Wet down the area after the display.
One and Done
Never attempt to re-light a dud. Wait 20 minutes and soak it in a bucket of water before disposal.
Stay Sober
The person lighting fireworks should never consume alcohol before or during the display.
Protect Eyes & Ears
Safety glasses are strongly recommended for the designated shooter. Consider ear protection for larger displays.
Pets Indoors
Keep pets inside in a quiet, familiar room to prevent stress and injury during displays.
