1. The Windsor-Detroit International Freedom Festival is a multi-day festival celebrated jointly by the cities of Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario to commemorate each country's respective National Day (US Independence Day on July 4 and Canada Day on July 1). It is organized by the Parade Company, a not-for-profit organization governed by the Michigan Thanksgiving Parade Foundation. It has a long list of sponsors. The celebration draws large crowds of around a million people. Traditionally, several days of events were planned, ending with one of the world's largest fireworks displays, sponsored by Target. On the Windsor side, there is a midway consisting of carnival rides and concessions during the festival. The Midway operates as stand-alone attraction at the end of June, beginning of July.
