San Jose Bans Fireworks This Year | San Jose News

San Jose is going all-in to shut down illegal fireworks this year, banning all consumer pyrotechnics and pushing residents toward safer, official alternatives like the massive drone show at Lake Cunningham Park — complete with water slides, food, and lucha libre wrestling. The crackdown follows a deadly warehouse explosion last year and a dangerously dry fire season fueled by recent rains. Fire crews are already battling hundreds of fires, and fines for illegal fireworks start at $1,000 — with enforcement drones on the lookout. The city’s big event? A free shuttle from Eastridge Mall to Lake Cunningham, plus safe rides home. For those craving real fireworks, the San Jose Giants will offer permitted displays after games on July 3rd and 4th.
