Dutch Fireworks Enthusiasts Flock to Germany Amid New Sales Restrictions
In Gronau, Germany, just across the border from the Netherlands, Dutch fireworks fans are eagerly purchasing fireworks as sales start in both countries. Despite a ban on selling fireworks on Sundays, stores opened briefly overnight to accommodate eager buyers. While some shoppers express confidence in compliance with local laws, others acknowledge potential illegal purchases. Police are reportedly increasing checks in border areas, but many fans have not encountered any inspections yet, citing significant savings on fireworks in Germany.
