One of the most observed British fireworks shows from the whole country receives some national awards.

The annual Ford Fireworks show in Detroit takes second place on the 10 best list of the best places to see fireworks that only see second place for Chicago's Navy Pier.

The 67th Ford Fireworks Show will take place on Monday, June 23, at 10:00 p.m. over the Detroit River

Every year hundreds of thousands of people take part in the free event and observe places such as Hart Plaza, the Detroit Riverwalk, Belle Isle and Windsor, Ontario.

“The Ford Fireworks Show in Detroit is so large that not two, but a total of three load barges keep pyrotechnics,” wrote USA. “In addition to the colorful display that explodes over the Detroit River, the audience can enjoy live music and lots of food and drinks every June.”

The Ford Fireworks produced by the Parade Company illuminates the Skyline from Detroit 24 minutes and is also shown live on WDIV-TV, Local 4.

USA TODAY has numerous 10 best lists that are first nominated by an expert body that consists of editors from USA Today and 10best.com. The top 10 are then determined by a public vote.
