As we prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, the New Bedford Police Department (NBPD) would like to extend our warmest wishes for a fun and joyous holiday. Our primary goal is to ensure everyone can enjoy the festivities in a safe and secure environment.
To that end, we want to remind everyone that privately owned fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts. Possession or use of fireworks will result in immediate seizure, and individuals may face criminal charges.
We will be in full force tomorrow night, patrolling and keeping our community safe.
Please be aware that setting up fireworks displays in public areas such as parks, beaches, and streets is strictly prohibited. The NBPD will confiscate any fireworks found in these locations, and those responsible may be subject to enforcement actions.

We also want to inform you that the city’s official fireworks display will NOT be visible from East and West Beach. The best viewing area will be around the State Pier. Additionally, parking around the beaches will be strictly enforced.
Our ultimate wish is for everyone to have a wonderful holiday. With your cooperation, we can all enjoy a fantastic and safe Fourth of July.
Thank you for your attention, and we hope you have a great Independence Day!”-City of New Bedford Police Department.
