After weeks of discussion and public comment, Great Falls City Commissioners voted on Tuesday night to put the future of consumer fireworks in the hands of voters. Commissioners passed a resolution referring a proposed ban on certain types of fireworks to the November 2025 ballot.

If approved by voters, the ordinance would impose some restrictions on the sale and use of consumer fireworks within city limits. It would limit the type of fireworks allowed to only novelty or ground devices, banning anything that leaves the ground or explodes. This would still allow fireworks like sparklers and snap caps.
