Yes, August 10th, 2019, going down the Detroit River to the Ambassador Bridge, once all the boats are there, they will head back up the Detroit River into Lake St. Clair then the St. Clair River to Pepper Joe's for lunch break as far as I know. Andy

I would be there around 12:30 but my guess is that they would be there around 1 - 1:30PM so that is why I go early so I don't miss it. Schedule and details are usually not available.

I see that is the time that was posted on Facebook, so they would be coming down the Detroit River around 11:30 or 11:45 or a little later. Thanks Road Hog.

What can I say about Ron Szolacks Skater Fest on the Detroit River that I haven't said before, it was Fantastic and great to watch and hear, weather was perfect but the Windsor Harbour Master was on TV and had concern about shoreline erosion from the wakes due to high water levels. What wake is cause by a Skater? NONE, Skaters fly across the water. Thanks to all who made this possible for us to watch and enjoy. Andy
