The Ford International Fireworks Show is Monday evening on the Windsor/Detroit waterfront. This is the 66th year of the show.

The 24-minute show is expected to start at 10:06pm.

Many Windsor streets will have restricted access to the downtown area beginning at 6, meaning parking will be tight. Transit Windsor will offer Windsor city bus at no cost on Monday night, 6 to midnight. There’s also a free shuttle bus service that will travel continuously between Devonshire Mall and a downtown drop-off.

Windsor Police are asking families to take photo of their kids at the beginning of the event, in the same clothes they’re wearing that night. Police say this will ensure you can provide officers with a recent and accurate photo if they are separated during the evening.
