Coronavirus safety concerns have led to a lot of cancelled plans this summer, and this includes public fireworks displays. These cancellations have led to a major uptick in firework purchases by people wanting to host their own displays at home, according to owner of Fireworks Masters, Kevin Carpenter.<\/p>\n
\u201cBusiness started early, and it has doubled from what it was in the past,\u201d\u00a0Carpenter explained<\/a>. \u201cI think that the canceling of the fireworks displays has raised consumer fireworks sales\u2026 I also think people are just pent up and ready to do something and get out and fireworks are going to give them that kind of emotional charge they are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n Fireworks are illegal in Charleston city limits. However, in Charleston County and Mount Pleasant, lighting them is legal.<\/p>\n In North Charleston, fireworks may be lit from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.; this timeframe is extended to 1:00 a.m. on Independence Day. In James Island, fireworks may be set off from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.<\/p>\nWhat Are the Fireworks Restrictions in Charleston?<\/h2>\n
