Ford Fireworks Rooftop Party 2026

The Parade Co. in Detroit hosted its annual Rooftop Party presented by Ford on June 22 celebrating the 66th edition of the Ford Fireworks over the Detroit River. The sold-out event took place on the top two levels of the Center Garage located just west of the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit. It was attended by around 2,000 people made up of regional business and civic leaders, and their families. Guests were treated to cuisine from Andiamo, beverage offerings, giveaways, and the opportunity to observe the live broadcasts, interviews, and performances from the event by 760 WJR and WDIV-Local 4. Proceeds directly support The Michigan Thanksgiving Parade Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. // Photographs by Patrick Gloria
