FIREWORKS - AU TRAIN TOWNSHIP
The Township does not have a separate ordinance regulating Fireworks, so we go by current State of Michigan Laws:
Fireworks are legal from June 29 - July 4 until 11:45 p.m, and July 5 because it is a Friday, until 11:45 p.m. If there are problems you should contact the Alger County Sheriff or Michigan State Police.
