Buffalo Bisons News Release


Ok, so the KeyBank Independence Eve Celebration with the BPO and the Largest Fireworks Show of the season is now a single-admission doubleheader against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs!

That sounds good to us... two games for one ticket and twice the fun for this signature ballpark event.

Here's what you need to know for the scheduling changes (and non-changes) to this year's event.

1) First pitch of game one is 4pm.

2) Gates open at 3:30pm. You can enter the ballpark at any time after that.

3) The Bisons and IronPigs will play two 7-inning games with a 30-minute break in-between.

4) The doubleheader is 'Single-Admission,' meaning you only need one ticket for both games.

5) All existing July 3rd game tickets are still valid & don't need to be re-issued/exchanged.

6) The signature BPO concert will follow game two & remain unchanged (scheduled to start at dusk).

7) We're still going to have the Largest Fireworks Show of the Year.

8) We are going to have even more fun now!!!

Other than that, everything stays the same. Here's some of the other things you can look forward to at this year's event!

Giveaways

We have two awesome giveaways for fans at this year's event. Our great event partner KeyBank has 3,000 Logo Tote Bags to give away. Just head over to their information table on the main concourse (by the Swan Gate) to receive this great item.

The Bisons will also be handing out Mini American flags to the first 10,000 visitors to Won Celery Place on the first base side of the main concourse.

Social Media Contests

We'll be giving away even more prizes once the game gets going. Follow the Bisons on twitter (@BuffaloBisons) and facebook (/BuffaloBisons) during the event for your chance to win seat upgrades and Key Possibilities gift cards.

There will also be a special Independence Eve Snapchat filter for you to share your best ballpark photos with your friends.

Post Game Concert

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will take the stage short after the Bisons game two against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Led by the Maestro Paul Ferington, who returns for his 19th July 3rd concert, this year's show will once again combine great patriotic classics and tributes to celebrate pop culture milestones. Included in this year's set list are RESPECT (honoring the life of Aretha Franklin), 2001: A Space Odyssey (50th anniversary of the moon landing), Lion King (25th Anniversary) and Toy Story (20th anniversary of the movie sequel) as well as a Beatles Medley.

Joining the BPO this year to sing along will be the award-winning performers from Spot On Entertainment, a New York City-based concert production company.

Fireworks

As the BPO marches through all of our favorite patriotic songs, the Largest Fireworks Show of the Season will begin. Nothing says the Independence Day holiday like fireworks, so come see an amazing show a night early!
