2009 Fireworks Over The Matanzas
The City of St. Augustine reported to Historic City News that there are two important goals for this year’s Fireworks Over The Matanzas celebration – Keep it safe and keep it legal.
Those attending Fireworks Over The Matanzas should remember two important safety rules that will be strictly enforced:
• Alcohol is prohibited on public property, including parks, streets and sidewalks; and
• Possession of fireworks that explode or leave the ground is illegal. Those found with such fireworks will be subject to citation or arrest and will have prohibited fireworks confiscated. The cost of the citation is $100.00.
Simply put: Have a great time with friends and family, but keep it safe and legal!
In the event medical assistance is needed, the St. Augustine Fire Department along with St. Johns County Emergency Medical Services will have a base station at the main entrance to the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and will have personnel roving on bicycles throughout the evening.
