A concert and fireworks are coming next and judging from the vat of earplugs ushers are handing out, it should be quite a blast. Literally.
In the middle of it all is comic actor JB Smoove, a "Saturday Night Live" alum whose movie projects include last year's Atlanta-filmed ensemble comedies "Almost Christmas" and "Barbershop: The Next Cut."
