I'm curious of fireworks are legal and available for purchase in Switzerland?

My wife and I will be in Lucerne for July 4th and we'd like to fire off at least one.

Paging Mr. Shung....

AFAIK the rules and regulations are pretty similar to Germany and Austria. Fireworks are only available for newyears (although the Swiss are not really big on fireworks for newyears). Their big day is August 1st, the "Bundesfeier". It's their 4th of July (Switzerland united in August of 1291AD).

All other than that setting up fireworks during the year (like for the 4th of July) is pretty much illegal and if you do it anyway you might get a $$$$ fine (Switzerland IS expensive if it comes to fines). Of course you can always apply for a special permit to burn down a firework, which again can be very costly.

I'm late to the party, but you would find fireworks for sale in July in Switzerland (for the 1st August) and I doubt anyone would blame you for shooting some early.

Sorry I missed the responses.  Honeymoon took place last summer and we had a great time in Switzerland.

First the obligatory wife pictures as per forum rules.



Now the Swiss Rifle Museum in Berne
