7 DAYS 7 METROPARKS | 5 COUNTIES Metroparks Fireworks Fact Sheet

What We Are Planning: Fireworks at the Metroparks is a five county celebration that has been a tradition for years that provides a safe and exciting way for the community to celebrate our nation’s birthday, while enjoying the natural beauty of the Metroparks. Each Fireworks display begins at dusk and lasts approximately 90 minutes. Joining us again in 2017 will be the Greenwood Farms Clydesdale Horses and multiple hospitality vendors.

The fireworks shows are the crown jewel of events for our parks and are very popular for all ages. In 2017, the Metroparks will also be celebrating its 75th year!

Where and When: Seven Metroparks will each host Fireworks events in 2017. The 2017 Fireworks at the Metroparks will be held on the following dates and locations:

Friday, June 23 - , Shelby Township Saturday, June 24 - , Milford Sunday, June 25 - , Brownstown Wednesday, June 28 - , Dexter Thursday, June 29 - , White Lake Friday, June 30 - Lake St. Clair Metropark, Harrison Township Saturday, July 1 - , New Boston

Who Benefits: The Metroparks welcomes visitors of all ages, uniting urban and suburban residents through outdoor enjoyment. Thousands of southeast residents gather each evening for the annual Fireworks at the Metroparks. Many come in early to save a spot and share a picnic dinner prior to the event. In 2015, overall attendance was greater than 88,000!

Nonprofit: Metroparks Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization; EIN: 22-3898436.
