Michigan restricts the sale of many consumer fireworks, especially aerial repeaters and artillery shells. Indiana doesn't. That 4-mile drive across the state line from New Buffalo puts you in a store with the full range of consumer aerial fireworks that Michigan stores legally can't carry. Black Bull has been that destination for the New Buffalo and Harbor Country area since 1998.

Why New Buffalo Customers Cross Into Indiana

The Indiana-Michigan fireworks law difference is the main reason New Buffalo area customers make the short drive to Black Bull. In Indiana, consumer aerial fireworks repeating cakes, artillery shells, Roman candles, and sky rockets are fully legal for consumer purchase. Michigan has stricter restrictions that limit what stores there can carry.

At Black Bull you get the full selection that Michigan stores can't offer, at prices that are backed by our match-or-beat guarantee. New Buffalo customers have been making this 4-mile run for years and it's become a seasonal tradition for many Harbor Country families.
