KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Fireworks stands are popping up on both sides of the state line now that sales are legal ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.

But just because you can buy fireworks in both Kansas and Missouri doesn’t mean you can buy or shoot them off in every city in the Kansas City area. Different cities across the metro have different rules, and many cities don’t allow them at all.

Fireworks sales can legally begin in Missouri starting June 20 through July 10. In Kansas, there’s a smaller window: You can only buy fireworks from June 27 to July 5.

So if you decide to make a sizzling purchase, where can you set them off at? We’ll break it down city-by-city for you. (Click here to scroll to Kansas)
