Santa Maria, California, is one of the few cities on the Central Coast where safe-and-sane fireworks are permitted. The sale of these fireworks began on June 28 and will continue until July 4, with 23 non-profit organizations participating in the fundraiser.
Fireworks Sales to Benefit Local Non-Profits
The annual sale of safe-and-sane fireworks is a significant fundraiser for many local non-profits, with some organizations generating several thousand dollars in profit. This year, the sales are expected to receive a boost due to the United States’ 250th anniversary celebration on the Fourth of July.
Customers who purchase fireworks will have to wait until Independence Day to use them, as they are only allowed to be used in Santa Maria on July 4 during a 12-hour period from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
