    All fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts including sparklers, firecrackers, and cherry bombs

    In Massachusetts, individuals using fireworks must have a certificate of competency to work lawfully for professional fireworks displays. It is illegal for residents to use, possess, or sell fireworks of all kinds. This includes fireworks purchased legally elsewhere and brought into Massachusetts, sparklers, firecrackers, cherry bombs, and other fireworks. Fines range from $10 to $1,000, and some violations could have a one-year prison sentence.

    There have been over 500 fires and explosions caused by the use of illegal fireworks in Massachusetts over the past five years, including more than 200 people treated medically for burns and other injuries.
