Hosting a fireworks display in Kansas? Whether you’re organizing a stadium show, community event, or operating a stand, here’s what you need to know about securing a fireworks bond — and how ZipBonds can help.
How much does a Kansas fireworks display bond cost?
Kansas state law does not require a fixed bond amount for fireworks displays throughout the state. However, local jurisdictions often mandate bonding, especially for retail sales. For example, Newton, Kansas, requires a $1,000 performance bond for temporary fireworks stands. Many cities also require $500,000 to $1 million in liability insurance for public displays, as seen in Wichita.

What is a fireworks bond?
A fireworks bond is a license & permit surety bond, guaranteeing compliance with local and state regulations. If cleanup or safety violations occur, the bond ensures funds are available to cover costs or restitution.
