Fireworks are returning to New Orleans on Independence Day thanks to actor Will Smith.

New Orleans canceled last year's fireworks because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the AP.

Smith is in New Orleans working on his latest film Emancipation, which will tell the story of a slave, Peter, who escaped a Louisiana plantation and whose photo of scars on his back from being whipped exposed the brutality of slavery. 

He would also fight for the Union in the Civil War.

City officials in New Orleans previously canceled the display due to budget shortages, Deadline reported.

Apple plunked down $120 million last year in the virtual Cannes market, according to the outlet. 

Mayor LaToya Cantrell tweeted of the display, 'The gift of city fireworks was made possible by actor and producer Will Smith, along with his company Westbrook'

Smith moved production of the film from Georgia to Louisiana in early April after Georgia passed a new voting law that prompted a federal lawsuit saying the overhaul was intended to deny Black voters equal access to the ballot.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell tweeted of the display: 'A fireworks display produced by "Go 4th on the River" will take place in New Orleans along the Mississippi Riverfront at 9pm Sunday, July 4, 2021.

'The gift of city fireworks was made possible by actor and producer Will Smith, along with his company Westbrook.'
