FRIDAY NIGHT KICKOFF PARTY

The Ford Fireworks is one of the very best shows in America and this year it will be even better!! In addition to this world class show, The Parade Company is once again holding Detroit’s summer kickoff that night, The Rooftop Party presented by Ford.  This spectacular event, held on the Center Garage roof is our annual fundraiser which helps to put on this great show along the Detroit River.

Please join us to celebrate our great City and support The Parade Company which not only puts on the Ford Fireworks, but also America’s Thanksgiving Parade® presented by Gardner White and the Strategic Staffing Solutions Turkey Trot.  This fundraising party sells out each year and is attended by thousands of Detroit business and civic leaders and their families!! The evening promises to be fantastic as we feature delicious food from Andiamo, complimentary beer and wine, groovy giveaways, and live broadcasts from the event by 760 WJR and WDIV-Local 4!!

This is truly the place to be on June 23^rd for the Ford Fireworks!!
