While
you may be sorely tempted to shoot fireworks over the 4th
of July holiday, we do need to let you know that the good fireworks
are actually illegal in Florida.
Illegal
fireworks include shells and mortars, multiple tube devices, Roman
candles, rockets and firecrackers.
Basically
any firework that flies is illegal in the sunshine state though the
state does allow various types of sparklers.
Using
fireworks is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to one year
in jail and a $1,000 fine.
There
will be at least four professional fireworks shows this 4th
of July holiday.
Saturday
evening there will be fireworks over the Carrabelle River.
On
Monday night there will be fireworks shows in Apalachicola from
Riverfront Park.
And
on Tuesday, July the 4th
there will be a fireworks show off the St. George Island public beach
as well as in Sopchoppy.
All
of the shows will start just after dark.
