This annual sold-out party is attended by hundreds of metro Detroit area businesses and civic leaders making it a true Detroit tradition.
The Parade Company selects the musical arrangement for the Ford Fireworks and works exclusively with Zambelli Fireworks and international choreographer Patrick Brault to stage more than 10,000 pyrotechnic effects.
