The Star Spangled Symphony & Fourth of July Fireworks is a grand event set to take place on July 4, 2024, 9-11pm, in Colorado Springs, continuing a nearly 50-year tradition.
Recreational fireworks are illegal in Colorado Springs. That includes all fireworks with a fuse or that require a flame to ignite. Novelty items like snappers and poppers are allowed. Report Illegal Fireworks
A fire started by fireworks that threaten or damages property is a crime of arson. Possession, use and/or the sale of fireworks is subject to a fine up to $2,500 and/or up to 189 days in jail. All citations will demand a mandatory court appearance in municipal court. Professional public firework displays are regulated and permitted upon approval from the Division of the Fire Marshal under the city code. The law in the state of Colorado is very specific relating to fireworks, reckless burning, and arson, regardless of where the offense occurs. One thought to consider is that a child can be arrested in Colorado at the age of ten for setting a fire even if he/she did not mean for the fire to damage anything or get out of control. Children ten years of age or older can be arrested for any one of these statutes. In an effort to keep our community safe, CSFD fire investigators conduct fireworks patrols July 3-5 each year. They confiscate any fireworks that are found and issue citations to those in possession of illegal fireworks. CSFD has set up drop-off boxes for fireworks at all 22 fire stations around town. People are encouraged to voluntarily bring in their fireworks for proper disposal. This is an anonymous drop-off, no questions will be asked and no citations will be issued for bringing in fireworks. We encourage anyone who has old fireworks to drop those off as well. Actions You Can Take to Be Safe
Dispose of Fireworks Safely Most household hazardous waste facilities don't accept fireworks for disposal. Contact local law enforcement to see if they have a disposal program.

Scoop the Poop
Pet waste is a problem in our neighborhoods when pet owners do not clean up after their pets. Not only is it violating the PCVA covenants to leave your pet’s waste laying in the common areas, the poop is a nuisance and can carry viruses and bacteria that are harmful to humans and animals. ** Pet owners are ALWAYS responsible for cleaning up after their pet in common and homeowner areas ** Pet Feces a Danger to Our Water Dog owners, please take responsibility and clean up after your pets in Pine Creek common areas (sidewalks, roads, greenways, etc.). Dog poop smells bad and no one likes stepping in it, but it is more than an inconvenience: it is a legitimate danger. Dog poop dangers come in several forms: - It pollutes waterways and is in the same EPA category as oil and mine runoff! - It poisons grass and lawns. - It carries hookworms, ringworms, tapeworms, and more. - It transmits human diseases, too!

Please note that there is a typo in the current Guidelines. Section 4.10.3 should have said, “Accessory structures may not exceed 120 square feet; no one side dimension may be greater than 12 feet in width and 9 feet in height.” We apologize for any confusion. This will be corrected in a future update. See the approval process details at https://www.pcva.org/design-review-request.html |
