Project overview
The Fireworks By-law regulated the sale and use of fireworks in Mississauga. It was repealed in November 2023 with the enactment of the Fireworks Licensing and Use By-law. The new by-law permits the use of fireworks on private property on the Lunar New Year, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Diwali and New Year’s Eve.
About fireworks use
You can use fireworks on private property without a permit only on designated holidays. Fireworks are permitted on New Year’s Eve from dusk until 1 a.m. on New Year’s Day, and from dusk until 11 p.m. on Victoria Day, Canada Day, Diwali and Lunar New Year.
To use fireworks on private property any other day of the year, you must obtain a fireworks permit from Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services.
Fireworks are permitted on private property that you own or occupy. Residents are not allowed to set off fireworks in a street, on a sidewalk, on a boulevard, on public property such as a park, or on any private property that is not their own.
Permitted types of fireworks
“F1” Family Class (low-hazard fireworks) are permitted on designated fireworks holidays without a permit. Members of the general public are not permitted to buy professional-grade fireworks.
