Fireworks near Caddo Mills, TX

If you live in Caddo Mills, we are just down the road. The store carries a Caddo Mills mailing address, but it sits down on I-30 at Exit 83, about 4 miles south of town, on the same lot as Dynamite Food Park.

That short hop matters, because the town itself is not a place to set anything off. Caddo Mills has its own fireworks ordinance, and it reaches a little past the city limits too. This page covers the drive, the local rule, and what to check before you light anything.

Driving from Caddo Mills

Plan on about 10 minutes from the middle of town. FM 1565 is the road you want. It runs south from Caddo Mills straight down to I-30, so there is no highway driving at all for most people in town. Follow it about 4 miles to the interstate at Exit 83 and you will see the store on the I-30 frontage road.

From the farm roads around town, any route onto FM 1565 southbound works. Full directions and a map are on our Visit page at /visit/.

Where you can legally shoot

In general, the legal place to shoot is private land outside the Caddo Mills city limits and more than 500 feet past them, with the landowner's permission, and only when no Hunt County drought order or burn ban says otherwise. City limits do not always follow the roads you expect, so if you are not sure whether a property is inside the line, call the city first. We cannot tell you a specific spot is legal, and no public park or road shoulder should be treated as OK unless an official source says so.

Before you come

You can reserve your order online ahead of time and pay in the store when you pick it up. There is no shipping, local pickup only at 5159 I-30. Reservations can be placed before a season opens, but pickup starts on opening day. Sales tax of 8.25% is collected at pickup. This season's hours are posted on our Visit page.
