Admission is free and concertgoers are invited to bring blankets and chairs. Overflow audience members will be directed to other viewing and parking areas.

Before the fireworks light up the sky, bands will take the stage inside the theater. Performers include Batman’s Third Rail Band, Killer Joe, and Lido Soul Revue.

The performances will all lead up to a fantastic fireworks show by Grucci at around 9:30 p.m.
