DON'T TAKE THE RISK! Fireworks are illegal in Redwood City
Keep your family and our community safe.

The use of fireworks to commemorate holidays, especially the Fourth of July and other celebratory occasions, has been a tradition in this country going back many years. For nearly 70 years the Peninsula Celebration Association (PCA) has hosted the annual Fireworks Show in Redwood City providing a professional fireworks experience for the community that continues today. The use of fireworks by people unlicensed to display fireworks is illegal in the City of Redwood City as it is in most communities on the peninsula.

You could face fines up to $50,000 or jail time. If you own or manage property in Redwood City, you could face additional penalties and enforcement if fireworks are used on your property.
