Default Where To Buy Fireworks?

Hey guys!

First off, I know it's not legal to buy or use fireworks within the city, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to buy them nearby. Preferrably, a place that would be open Saturday evening.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't live in Calgary anymore but I'm willing to bet you could get them in Chinatown... LOL... you'd be surprised at some of the stuff you could get in Chinatowns of major metropolis cities across North America.

It's been a few years since my last purchase so you might want to call first before driving all the way out there.
The ones I bought were so good. We used them on a houseboating trip.
Great memories.

yep, bearspaw is definetly the closest place to buy them. The only thing I would recommend, is phoning ahead of time, becuase they are often sold out.

Good. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Make sure they'll be open and make sure they have some in stock.

Thanks again guys.

After work last night I drove up to the gas station at Bearspaw to check their hours and their stock. I looked in and there were lots of fireworks there and they are open until 7:30 PM tonight so I can go get some after work.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
