Ellis said some of the things you may see during tonight’s fireworks show would be different than anything you’ve seen before.
He further elaborated that the show will be 22 minutes long and feature over 1200 fireworks.
“But to hear the crowd go wild afterward. The applause ... that’s what gets us all going. It makes all this work we’re doing worthwhile,” Ellis explained.
If you want to attend the show, standing-room tickets are available.
