Here’s Where To Buy Fireworks Legally For 4th of July in Buffalo

You may have noticed certain types of fireworks and sparklers for sale in stores around western New York. It's not contraband -- it's legal.

This is all because of a recent change to New York state law regarding the sale of fireworks. WGRZ explains:

"The state law, however, still limits the sale to two distinct periods each year: Before the Fourth of July and before New Year's Eve.

Permanent retailers like groceries and convenience stores are allowed to sell the sparkling devices from June 1 to July 5 and Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 each year.

Temporary retailers — firework sellers who set up tents or stands — can sell from June 20 to July 5 and Dec. 26 to Jan. 1." -WGRZ.com

Here's a database of all retailers where you can purchase fireworks in New York.
