The 60th annual Ford Fireworks display over the Detroit River takes place this Monday, June 25, 2018, and we’re sharing four locations we think are a great way to watch.

Every year, the Art Gallery of Windsor throws a viewing party for the fireworks display. This year the family friendly party takes place from 7:00pm to 10:00pm.

In addition to the fireworks, guests can enjoy sandwiches, a cash bar, and kid’s beverages. There will also be drop-in studio activities, cultural performances, stay and play games zone, traditional tabletop picnic style games and docent tours all in a in a jazzy atmosphere. Did we mention they have 27 Andy Warhol pieces on display?

Tickets $40 adults; $20 children and youth under 18 years old.

This downtown Windsor microbrewery has a second floor patio that provides a perfect view of the riverfront. Did we mention it’s a microbrewery so you can also order beer?

 

THE GREAT CANADIAN FLAG

Love the excitement of the bangs of the fireworks thumping inside your chest? Perfect spot underneath one of the largest Canadian flags you’ll ever see. Be sure to get there early.

 

AMBASSADOR PARK PIER

A ways away from all the action, the pier underneath the ambassador bridge provides a quiet place to gather and watch. Because it’s away from all the hustle and bustle, it also allows you to make a quick exit avoiding all the crowds and traffic.
