July 4th Fireworks -- Don't Light Your Own in Alexandria, Virginia

Firecrackers -- Illegal in Alexandria Everyone enjoys a good fireworks display for July 4th. In the D.C. area there are some great ones -- whether it's down on the National Mall, at Fort Belvoir, over the Potomac River, or in various locations throughout Northern Virginia.

However, while some jurisdictions allow people to shoot off their own private fireworks displays, there are other cities in Northern Virginia where doing so is illegal.

The City of Alexandria is one such place. Here's a public service reminder that's out on the streets right now, just 10 days before Independence Day (this one's located on Duke Street at the exit ramp for Van Dorn Street -- right by Landmark Mall):

You can't shoot em in Naples either but every year you hear them all over...do you there too?

We are located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean.

Our fireworks are shot out over the water. It is beautiful to see the reflections in the river.

Wow...you folks have the signage going too. Good reminder to all

I was in Northern VA this past weekend and I was suprized how many placed were selling fireworks on the streets. I forgot that many places do allow sales... I was not aware that many municipalities do not permit the use of them.
