The sponsors who rescued this year's July 3 lakefront fireworks announced Monday that they would sponsor the show next year as well.

American Family Insurance, the Milwaukee Brewers, T&M Partners and Brewers star Christian Yelich have all agreed to a one-year financial extension to support the July 3 fireworks celebration that tens of thousands of people attend each ear, according to a news release from American Family Insurance.

"It's not an Independence Day celebration in Milwaukee without a lakefront fireworks show to kick off the holiday with a bang," Milwaukee County Chris Abele said in the release.

Judd Schemmel, associate vice president of partnerships and community investment for American Family Insurance, said in the release, "We know the lakefront fireworks is a popular community tradition for many Milwaukee Residents – we're honored to support this event to show our commitment to Milwaukee."
