The show is set to go from 9:30-10:15 p.m. on July 4.
This is the first time the event will have concerts and vendors since the pandemic began. In 2020, the event was canceled, and it was brought back with fewer attractions in 2021.
Last year was also the first time the fair hosted a collegiate esports championship, which will be returning this year.
