Communities across the country are already celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. While the Fourth of July will be a major moment, many cities are planning events that span the entire year.

Drone light shows are emerging as a powerful way to mark the occasion, combining technology, storytelling, and patriotic imagery in the night sky.

Events where communities are adding drone shows:

• Community festivals & concerts
• Stadium and sporting events
• Heritage and historical celebrations
• Holiday celebrations throughout the year

Take a behind-the-scenes look as AZ Family 3TV & CBS 5 spoke with our CEO, Nate Mortensen, about the safety planning, pyro coordination, and preparation required to deliver three 500-drone shows for the Concert at the Coliseum. This marked our second consecutive year flying the event.

Drone shows aren’t just for big holidays, they can elevate events all year long. Here are a few ways communities are already bringing the sky to life.
