Supervisors approve two fireworks permits for early July events
Summary
Jackson County approved fireworks permits for events on July 3 and July 4, 2026 — one at 36540 Hwy 64, Preston (Matthew Franzen) and another at 7501 214th Ave, Maquoketa (Matt Andresen) — with rain dates of July 5, 2026.
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors authorized two fireworks permits at its June 9 meeting. The first permit allows Matthew Franzen to hold a fireworks display at 36540 Hwy 64 in Preston on July 3, 2026 at dusk, with a rain date of July 5. The second permit authorizes Matt Andresen to hold fireworks at 7501 214th Ave in Maquoketa on July 4, 2026 at 9:00 p.m., with a rain date of July 5.
Supervisors voted Aye on both permits. The county’s permit approvals set the dates and locations and authorize applicants to proceed, subject to compliance with applicable safety regulations and any required notifications.
Why it matters: The permits establish authorized dates and locations for public pyrotechnic displays in Jackson County communities and give local officials a record of approved events for public-safety coordination.
