Ford Fireworks

Here in Detroit, we’re used to our fireworks display happening a week before the rest of the country. We’re also used to sharing our Independence Day celebration with our Canadian neighbors. This year, new pedestrian walkways and green spaces will add to the downtown tradition. Though there are plenty of ticketed events happening around the area, we think the best option is bringing a blanket and some friends and posting up in the streets. A word of advice — get there early! The crowds get bigger every year and you want to ensure you get a great view.
