Fire works are actually illegal here, but it is kind of like the public pot smoking issue,
which police turned a blind eye to for many years before marijuana was legalized.
Still, those in possession of fireworks or who set them off in the city could face
up to $1,000 in fines per offence. One news story had this to say: Our first Halloween
with a city-wide fireworks ban in place is expected to be a loud one. Crews responded
to dozens of calls Saturday night after the pyrotechnic devices sparked fires across the city.

The reason Halloween is so popular in the first place is that it falls on a liturgical day back in Ye Olde World, called the Feast of All Souls. All soul's day is about the last judgement, it's the day before the feat of all saints, which celebrates the resurrection to eternal life. Aside from the fact that Halloween art is silly, cartoonish, and universally unskilled, the issue is that they're denying the final judgement. All Soul's Day is about whether you're good or evil, (the separation of the wheat from the tares and the sheep from the goats, to use the seasonal harvest metaphor), and the anti-religious people are going around acting like all souls are evil and dammed.
Halloween is fundamentally a witch's holiday opposed to the resurrection. It is the day on which "the veil between the worlds is thin", and people with the sight see the spirits of the dead. Witches have metaphysical opinions, and one is that life, death and rebirth are a cycle, it is the cycle of reincarnation. The intermediary period between death and rebirth in their metaphysics is called bardo or pardo, from Tibetan (The Tibetan Book of the Dead). Halloween is considered the day to consult a spirit medium for an oracle, or prediction of the future, Saul Samuel and Witch of Endor style.
Halloween is a philosophically undesirable holiday, it denies the syllogistic logic of Aristotle, who divided everything into good and evil. Syllogistically speaking, it commits the fallacy of the excluded middle term (in a three-line syllogism), it embraces a belief in death and rebirth without a diacritical moral judgement phase.
