Fireworks are
far brighter than fireflies, typical fireworks settings may make the fireflies barely visible at all. Does your camera have a manual exposure mode? If so, I'd use that. Combining multiple exposures is usually the way to go, so a tripod and a remote (or built in interval mode if available) are a must. A spare battery would be a good idea - long exposures tend to kill batteries no matter what mode you're in.
My starting point for fireflies is f/2.8, iso3200. I then go with an exposure length that puts the background where I want, usually dark enough that it doesn't compete with the fireflies, but depending on the sky, it may need to be shorter. Then take as many photos as I have the patience for. An interval timer is handy, or a wired remote that lets you hold the shutter down. Stacking can be simple, the free StarStaX program offers a suitable blending mode.
Given the one-off nature of your outing, you might want to practice in advance if possible. A typical weak LED flashlight works ok to mimic a firefly. Find a nice field, give a friend enough beer that they're willing to run around the field swinging the LED around (but not so much that they fall over frequently) and practice photographing them and combining the photos later in the computer. Actual exposure settings may need a bit of fiddling when it comes to the real thing, but it can give you an idea.
I've posted these examples before.
f/3.5, iso3200, 30 second exposures, 10-17mm fisheye @ 10mm. 226 combined via StarStax Lighten mode. Gaps in star trails from clouds, light on grass from my house (I'm lucky to have fireflies in my 'yard'
):
f/2.8, iso3200, 8 to 15 second exposures, DFA100mm macro, 83 exposures combined via StarStax Lighten mode. The sun was setting while the full moon was rising (the moon is lighting the field in the distance), so the varying exposure length kept the ambient balanced and let me use longer exposures as time went on so I had less files to combine.
f/3.5, iso3200, 30 second exposures, 10-17mm fisheye @ 10mm. 16 combined via StarStax Lighten mode. Good times as a firefly landed on the camera and walked all over the front element of the lens:
