As New Year’s celebrations approach, Sumner County officials are reminding residents to follow local fireworks ordinances and celebrate safely.
In Hendersonville, fireworks are permitted within city limits on December 31 from 10 a.m. until 1 a.m. on January 1, and again on January 1 from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. City leaders say fireworks are only allowed during these designated times under the municipal code.
Gallatin officials also emphasized safe and responsible celebrations. Under city ordinance, fireworks may only be discharged from 10 a.m. on December 31 through 1 a.m. on January 1.
Officials in Gallatin noted that loud fireworks can be stressful for pets and agricultural animals, including horses and livestock. Residents are encouraged to provide animals with a quiet, secure space, check on them before and after fireworks, and give neighbors advance notice when possible.
Both cities are urging residents to follow the rules and help ensure a safe and enjoyable New Year’s celebration for the entire community.
