At their meeting on Wednesday night the Atlantic City Council set the dates for fireworks usage in the city.  The ordinance that is currently in place allows fireworks use on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The council decided at the meeting that they would shift the dates to July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th this year due to the 4th being on a Saturday. The idea was to alleviate having fireworks discharged on a Sunday. The hours on the set dates for usage will be 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

The Council also decided that they will set the dates for fireworks discharge in the city on an annual resolution basis.

The Council also reminded residents that the annual city fireworks display will be held on July 3rd at the AMU well fields next to the Atlantic Little League Complex.
