Mayor Dave Bing assures that the Detroit Target Fireworks will be a safe and successful event this year. However, the city's financial crisis means Detroit alone cannot shoulder responsible for the fireworks and other major events in the future.
"As such, we will actively engage the Parade Company and our regional partners to discuss the financial sustainability of events like the fireworks and the Thanksgiving Day Parade in the future," Bing said at a news conference.
