As the 4th of July approaches, the Redding Fire Department and the City of Redding want to remind the community that ALL fireworks are illegal in Shasta County without a permit, including in the City of Redding. Fireworks cause fires! It’s not worth the risk of wildfire or the fines. Please leave the fireworks to the experts. The use of drones will NOT be permitted during the entirety of the show.

A special thank you to the McConnell Foundation for providing the funding again this year for the fireworks show. We look forward to a happy and safe 4th of July!
