About fireworks use

The Fireworks Licensing and Use By-law regulates the sale and use of fireworks in Mississauga. It was enacted in November 2023 after review of the previous by-law and engagement with the community. The by-law permits the use of fireworks on private property on Lunar New Year, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Diwali and New Year’s Eve.

On these designated holidays, fireworks can be used without a permit on private property that you own. You are not allowed to set off fireworks on a street, sidewalk, boulevard, public property such as a park, or on any private property that is not your own, without a permit.

To use fireworks on your private property on any other day of the year, you must obtain a fireworks permit from Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services.
