As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, the
City of Bonners Ferry would like to issue a
friendly reminder to city residents and those
visiting the city for the holiday about city
ordinances and Idaho State Code regarding
fireworks inside city limits.
Per Bonners Ferry City Code 7-4-4, no fireworks
may be discharged within the city limits.
“Fireworks” are defined in Idaho Code section

composition, or any substance or combination of
substances, or article prepared for the purpose
of producing a visible or audible effect by
combustion, explosion, deflagration or
detonation.
This includes all aerial fireworks as well as
ground fireworks.
Violation of this code section is a misdemeanor
