Conditional
Kansas statewide rule

Consumer fireworks are legal statewide in Kansas, but bottle rockets, silver salutes, M-100s and M-80s are illegal, and cities and counties decide when and whether you may light any of them (Kansas State Fire Marshal). Seasonal retailers may sell June 20–July 7, and permanent retailers registered annually with the State Fire Marshal may sell year-round (K.S.A. 31-502, 31-503, as amended by L. 2025, ch. 80). It is illegal to shoot fireworks on or under a vehicle, on a public roadway, within 300 feet of a fireworks stand or where fireworks are stored, or at gas stations or anywhere liquid gas such as propane is stored. Kansas sets no statewide discharge dates, so check the local ordinance.

Info

In Kansas you must be 18 or older to buy consumer fireworks. Seasonal stands licensed by the State Fire Marshal sell them and, since 2025, so do year-round permanent retailers; local permits may also be required.
