Statistics show that fireworks are among the most dangerous of all consumer products. The City maintains a strict enforcement policy for fireworks, and Pasadena's municipal code holds property owners and tenants responsible for permitting the possession, sale, usage, or discharge of fireworks on their property. The ordinance allows for the prosecution of fireworks-related offenses and for the demand of payment for all costs associated with the safe disposal of confiscated fireworks. Any person who violates the ordinance or any state law regarding fireworks is subject to arrest and prosecution. Most violations are misdemeanors that can lead to up to one year in the county jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Some violations, based on the amount of fireworks possessed, are felonies that can lead up to three years in state prison and a fine of up to $50,000.

Help keep our community—our children, our homes and our property—safe from illegal fireworks. If you see something, say something! Call Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241 to report illegal fireworks and other suspicious activities. Residents may also use the City Service Center mobile app (Pasadena CSC), available on Google Play and the App Store, to report illegal fireworks.

Traveling to a World Cup game, concert, or large event in California? Plan ahead—protect yourself in those big crowds!

Stay up to date on flu, COVID‑19, RSV, and especially MMR (measles) vaccines before travel or attending big events—measles is extremely contagious and lingers in the air.

Large events bring people close together—vaccines are your best protection and help keep outbreaks away.

Schedule your immunizations right away and pack quality masks (N95/KN95) for indoor spaces and transit.

Stay travel-smart—let’s cheer safely! 🎉
