Do you know if there will be fireworks for National Day in Kunming? If so, where?

Where can you have a drink in a cosy bar listening to Bob Marley, Kaya and a few minutes later, have a live classic guitar show ? (the owners are a group of friends graduated from Yunnan Music University-although some nights can play "stupid" popular chinese balads ah !). Any foreigners.. yet !
So Where ?
