“It’s an amazing show. It’s big. We’ve got a lot of bigger shells this year and it’s probably the greatest fireworks show you’ve ever seen,” said Miranda Ithaca, who worked on the pyrotechnics for the show. “We have programs that we go through and we actually set each shell to the timing of the music so that it is specifically choreographed and that does take a little bit of time but we want to make sure it’s a special show.”
Among the musical performers taking place, country superstar Chris Young will take the stage with hits such as “Aw Naw” and “I Can Take it From Here.”
Tickets start at $10 and kids under 5 are free.
