The absolute best WNY summer tradition, the 29th annual KeyBank Independence Eve Celebration with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the largest fireworks show returns Thursday, July 3 as the Bisons host the Rochester Red Wings at 6:05 p.m.
The event began 30 years ago and in 2025, the Bisons independence Eve will reach a half a million in total attendance!
The KeyBank Independence Eve Celebration features the best that America has to offer, including our national pastime played out between two great rivals, a great post-game concert from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the largest fireworks show of the season.
This year’s event will also feature a pregame Mini American Flag Giveaway to the first 2,000 fans through the Inspire Dental Gate at Swan Street beginning at 4:30 p.m.
