City of Auburn, Maine. 

As we celebrate Independence Day, the Auburn Police & Fire Departments remind residents & visitors that the discharge of fireworks is strictly prohibited in Auburn.

Please leave the fireworks to the professionals and enjoy the Lewiston Auburn Liberty Festival instead of setting off your own. They have lots of fun activities planned!

It may be legal to purchase fireworks in certain parts of Maine, but Auburn has banned their use, sale and possession with intent to sell.

Police officers will enforce the city’s fireworks ordinance by responding to reports of illegal fireworks possession & discharge. Residents can help by calling 9-1-1 (or the non-emergency number: 784-7331) when fireworks are illegally set off in their neighborhoods.

The City of Auburn wishes you a SAFE and Happy 4th of July!
