Fireworks Display - 10:00pm

This year’s Canada Day fireworks will be launched from a barge on the Detroit River, with the best viewing available from King’s Navy Yard Park.

The waterfront display will light up the sky from a new perspective and is being held from the same location recently used for last year’s River Lights and Uncommon Festival fireworks.

Plan ahead and make your way to King’s Navy Yard Park for the best viewing experience this year.

Thank you to J&J Marine for supporting this year’s fireworks display!
