Fireworks law in Maryland:
Maryland Law:
It is illegal to cross state lines and import fireworks for backyard celebrations. Fines may be levied of up to $250 for each firework device. Possession or use of explosive fireworks or large firecrackers such as M-100s or “Quarter-sticks” can carry a felony charge, large fines and time in prison.
For your safety, and that of your guests, fire officials urge Marylanders to keep it safe and only use legal fireworks this season. Leave the fireworks displays to professionals and enjoy one of the many displays in the area.
