~ As the Fourth of July approaches, the City of Madison is reminding its residents to celebrate safely and responsibly. In a press release issued on July 1, 2026, the city officials extended their warm wishes for a happy and safe holiday to everyone.

However, they also emphasized the importance of following the longstanding public safety policy that prohibits any type of firework that shoots into the air, has a fuse, or explodes in Madison. This policy is not only for the protection of individuals but also for respecting one's neighbors.

The only legal fireworks allowed in Madison are sparklers, snaps, caps, and snakes – which have been deemed as equally fun alternatives to illegal fireworks. The city officials also urged residents not to bring any type of firework, including sparklers, to City parks.
