Around one-third of this year's fireworks will be brand new, and the explosions will be choreographed to the music of five Midwest Communications radio stations.

The event is open to the public and free, and will feature music, food and drink vendors, and entertainment.

In the event that weather conditions prohibit the show, the event will be postponed to July 5.
