PARSIPPANY — In June 2017 Former Governor Chris Christie signed a bill to legalize the sale of sparklers and certain novelty devices in the state.
The law allows people who are 16 and older to buy hand-held sparklers and ground-based sparklers. It also allows them to purchase certain novelty items including party poppers and snappers at locations around the state.
Under the legislation, all other fireworks will remain illegal in New Jersey including all explosive and aerial fireworks such as firecrackers, sky rockets and bottle rockets.
A temporary fireworks tent has been set up in the Troy Hills Shopping Center and another one is in the process of being set up in the Morris Hills Shopping Center.
