Where to See Fireworks in Detroit this Summer

What is summer in Detroit without an incredible fireworks display? Metro Detroit has loads of celebrations, festivals, and fireworks throughout the summer. Watch as firecrackers light up the city skyline, burst over Comerica park, illuminate the river, or crackle over Greenfield Village. Enjoy live music, food vendors, and family fun at area festivals. This summer is the perfect time to stretch out on a blanket, stare up at the sky and watch a dazzling light show across many Metro Detroit locations.
