The fireworks show will run for 15 minutes, the longest show on Independence Day in Akron in more than five years.

"We're thrilled to have sold out the Fourth of July celebration, our sixth sellout of the season. The fan response has been amazing," Akron RubberDucks General Manager Jim Pfander said.
