We have officially approached the time of year in Amarillo where the nighttime is going to be a little louder, and probably a bit later than you want it to.

However, we all can at least appreciate the reason behind it, and most of us enjoy participating in the festivities, at least in some capacity.

Yes...and no. This is a relatively grey area, yet black & white. Are you confused yet?

Are There Any Fireworks That Are Legal

This is where it gets even trickier. In Texas, there ARE some that are legal to set off; however, cities are allowed to enact stricter rules regarding these fireworks.

Therefore, even if it's legal in Texas, it isn't legal within Amarillo and Canyon city limits, so anything can get you that fine if you're caught setting them off.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
