July 2, 2025
With the upcoming holiday we hope that everyone is able to relax and have a good time in Kure Beach. We also want you to understand that although there are several venues offering fireworks for the 4th of July, that personal fireworks are still illegal, and have created a few problems in the past, including: personal injuries, fires both on and off the beach, and damage to personal and public property. We certainly do not want to limit the good time you have celebrating the 4th, but want to bring awareness to the law, issues, and problems that we have experienced in the past few years. We will be overstaffed in order to handle the larger than normal call volume that we have historically experienced throughout the weekend.
State Law
N.C. General Statute 14-410 regulates the manufacture, sale, and use of pyrotechnics which are prohibited unless you have a license to exhibit, use, handle or discharge in connection with a concert or public exhibition having been licensed under Article 82A of Chapter 58 of General Statutes.
