From 7 p.m. to midnight on June 26 and 27 as well as July 2 through 5, residents and visitors to the Pahrump Valley can head over to the Pahrump Fireworks Shoot Site to launch their aerial fireworks safely and legally.
“All visitors who want to launch their own fireworks must have a special permit from one of the five fireworks stores: Area 51, Phantom Fireworks, Red Apple Fireworks, Blackjack Fireworks or Outlaw Pyro,” the town of Pahrump’s tourism website details. “Launch permits are $5 each. The site is first-come-first-serve with a 30-minute limit.”
Residents and visitors are reminded that the Pahrump Fireworks Shoot Site is the only location in Nye County where fireworks can be legally detonated. All fireworks must be lit by a person 18 years or older.
The Fireworks Shoot Site is located at 3770 Fox Avenue at the corner of Fox Avenue and Gamebird Road.
