Organizers billed the show as one of the largest fireworks displays in the country, with over 10,000 pyrotechnic effects that would be visible for miles.

“It’s exciting,” said Michelle Hill, 62, of Detroit, who arrived at 5 p.m. to get a parking space and was among many who set up a lawn chair uphill from a grassy stretch of Hart Plaza. She added that she liked “the camaraderie, meeting all these people...it’s really nice.”
