Biz X Was There – Windsor Parade Corporation’s Riverfront Fireworks Party
The Windsor Riverfront Fireworks Party took place on June 26, 2023 at the Bistro at the River.
The weather was not perfect, but it did not deter the 200 guests from enjoying themselves! And as always they had the best seats for the amazing close up experience of the 65th edition of the Ford Fireworks.
Guests enjoyed wine sampling by Pelee Island Winery, hors d’oeuvres, a buffet dinner of chicken and fish and entertainment by the band Nemesis, who had plenty of music lovers dancing in the rain. They wrapped up the entertainment with an appropriate song, Proud Mary and the line, Rollin on the River.
Everyone was rocking and rolling and then some!
