Each year, over a dozen nonprofits, churches and school booster clubs set up fireworks stands throughout Citrus Heights in hopes of raising money for their organization. This year there are 24 fireworks booths registered to sell in Citrus Heights.
Sales of “safe and sane” fireworks are often one of the biggest annual fundraisers for various nonprofits, with sales legally allowed to begin June 28, and lasting through July 4. Empty frames of booths are often seen being set up in the days prior in preparation for the brief sales period.
The following is a list of licensed locations and the name of the organization in charge of the stand, as provided by the City Clerk’s office:

An ordinance made permanent by the Citrus Heights City Council in 2022 prohibits setting off fireworks after 11 p.m., including those labeled “safe and sane.” The ordinance also allows authorities to cite landlords and those deemed “social hosts,” if illegal fireworks were discharged on the property.
The City Council in April 2025, unanimously approved updates to the fireworks ordinance that increased fines and tightened enforcement capabilities for the police department.
