The Palmdale City Council this month issued permits for 46 nonprofit organizations to sell fireworks. Only nonprofit organizations that have headquarters in Palmdale, or have more than 50 percent of their membership residing in Palmdale and have a minimum of 20 members, are eligible to apply for fireworks booths. Only one booth is allowed per organization.

The number of booths allowed is calculated at one booth per every 3,000 residents. Based upon current population estimates, a maximum of 52 booths would be allowed to be established in the year 2017, of which 46 have been filled by qualifying.

Organizations’ booths must pass an inspection by the Los Angeles County Fire Department before the city’s Code Enforcement Division will issue the fireworks permit. Fireworks may be purchased by those who are age 18 or older in the city of Palmdale. Proof of age may be requested for purchase.

Palmdale is the only municipality in the Antelope Valley in which “Safe and Sane” fireworks may be legally sold and discharged on private property. However, the Anaverde housing community, all areas south of the California Aqueduct, and locations in the Rancho Vista area are “no fireworks zones” and may not use any fireworks at all since they are in high risk fire areas.

The “no fireworks zone” is generally described as the area within the City of Palmdale which lies along the following lines: beginning at the intersection of Rancho Vista Boulevard and 30th Street West, areas south and west of Rancho Vista Boulevard, north to Avenue N-8; south and west of Avenue N-8, from Rancho Vista Boulevard to 55th Street West; west of 55th Street West; and south from 55th Street West to 60th Street West (Godde Hill Road). View the “No Fireworks Zone” maps here and here.

“We’ve developed an interactive map on our website, www.cityofpalmdale.org, that allows residents to enter their address so they can see if they live in a ‘no fireworks zone’ area where ‘Safe and Sane’ fireworks are not allowed,” said Palmdale’s Communications Manager John Mlynar. Access the interactive map here.

Residents may also contact Palmdale’s Neighborhood Services Department at 661-267-5181 or 661-267-5170 for assistance on no fireworks zones.

Palmdale city officials are warning residents against illegal fireworks, and administrative fines starting at $2,500 will be in effect. Educational flyers are being distributed with each “Safe and Sane” fireworks purchase. For more information, call 661-267-5181.

  1. Every year we put on a real show for the neighborhood . Want to be impressed? Come hang at R4 & 50. Bring yours too and join the fun!

  2. Any guesses as to how long before Rex tries to open up a Chinese fireworks factory in Lancaster?

  4. Nevada would be my choice or people drive them in from Mexico to sell in the San Fernando valley.

    Granted they are illegal but the days before and after the fourth are great for overtime in the antelope valley. No matter how dry or windy, idiots get their kids fingers blown off and fields set on fire.

  5. these vendors only sell the fake fireworks. Only chumps buy from them. I wonder where it is we go, to get real fireworks?
