Celebrate the Fourth of July weekend responsibly. The Argus Newspaper urges residents in St. Louis to follow fireworks laws and stay safe during this festive holiday.

The Fourth of July weekend begins today, Friday, July 4th, and festivities are expected to continue through Sunday. This means fireworks will be lighting up the sky all weekend long, whether or not they comply with local regulations.
The Argus Newspaper encourages everyone to celebrate safely and responsibly. We urge you to follow the guidance and warnings issued by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police to ensure a fun and safe holiday weekend for all.
St. Louis Metropolitan Police:

Parents: You will be held responsible for the behavior of your children. If your child posses, discharges or sells fireworks within #STL, they will be detained, you’ll pick them up and then you’ll be cited. Please help us ensure everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!
