Shelby Township Independence Day Fireworks

The Shelby Township Independence Day Fireworks are back to light up the sky on June 24, but the show moves to Stony Creek Metropark this year. Sponsored by Signs365, the fireworks had to move from its former spot at Ford Field Central Park near 23 Mile Road and Van Dyke Ave. because the former launch site is no longer vacant.Because of the support of Signs365, the Shelby Township Independence Day Fireworks show is one of the largest demonstrations in Michigan, so finding a suitable launch site left the township with one option, Stony Creek Metropark. As the show has moved from Van Dyke Ave. to Stony Creek Metropark, officials canceled the annual food truck rally, but like last year, the show will include a drone demonstration before the fireworks.

While walking or biking into Stony Creek is free, Metropark daily vehicle passes are $10 per vehicle. Annual passes start at $40 per vehicle for residents from Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne counties and $45 for non-residents. Metropark entry is free for vehicles with a state-issued Disabled Veteran license plate. For more information on Metropark passes and regulations or to purchase an annual pass, visit metroparks.com.

The Shelby Township Police and Fire departments will be onsite at Stony Creek, working from a command center within the park to accommodate traffic and ensure safety before, during, and after the show.
