Ford Fireworks 2024 will take place on Monday, June 24, 2024 at 10:06 and is the the largest public fireworks display in Michigan with fireworks and other pyrotechnics being displayed on 3 barges in the Detroit River. The barges are placed closer to the Detroit side of the river but the fireworks can definitely be seen on the other side of the Detroit River in Windsor, ON.
You can stay at home and watch the Detroit fireworks LIVE on WDIV – Local 4 TV.
