- Several Lima districts, including Surco, Jesús María, Pueblo Libre and Miraflores, reinforced prohibitions on selling or using pyrotechnics and burning effigies, setting penalties that reach up to 4 UIT (about S/5,000–S/5,350).
- Chorrillos barred camping and fogatas on beaches such as Agua Dulce, La Herradura, La Costanera and La Chira for New Year’s, warning of fines up to S/2,800 and deploying inspectors to enforce the rule.
- In Michoacán, the Jiquilpan mayor announced a prohibition on buying and using pyrotechnics following recent regional fires, with security and civil protection operativos ordered and a limited exception for a traditional dance.
- In La Plata, muñequeros protested new limits that move most effigies outside the city center and cap authorized burns, arguing they received late notice and that the requirements threaten a long‑standing neighborhood tradition.
