However, you're not sure what fireworks are allowed where you live. In 2014, New York changed the fireworks law so that "Sparkling Devices" would be legal. What are Sparkling Devices?

Sparkling Devices In New York State

According to New York State Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Sparkling Devices are ground-based or handheld devices that produce a shower of colored sparks and/or a colored flame, audible crackling or whistling noise, and smoke.

So where do you go to get your "Sparkling Devices?" Do you know those temporary firework stands that "pop up" around our area this time of year? You can buy them there from June 1st to July 5th.

New York state allows these temporary stands to be open during that time frame along with December 26th to January 1st, just in time for your after-Christmas shopping needs.

I have a better idea. Instead of lighting your own fireworks, why not find a safer place to go to watch and enjoy without breaking any laws. Here are some locations in the Southern Tier.

Fireworks With the Binghamton Rumble Ponies

Enjoy a Binghamton Rumble Ponies game on Monday, July 4th against the Portland Sea Dogs. True story, I was asked if the fireworks were before or after the game. Since the first pitch is at 6:35 p.m., there will be too much light to see the fireworks show before the game.
