Drone Shows Replace 4th of July Fireworks in Wildfire-Prone Areas

After the amazing coordinated light shows at the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, drones are being used as fireworks alternatives.

This year, Intel is getting in on the Independence Day spirit by holding a 500-drone display at Travis Airforce base in Northern California. But don’t feel left out. While your 4th of July drone display likely won’t be quite so grandiose, there are a number of companies across the country (Firefly Drone Shows, Great Lakes Drone Company, and Wildly Creative Marketing, just to name a few) that are starting to offer drone light shows as an alternative to fireworks in blaze-prone areas. An added benefit (or perhaps drawback for traditionalists) is that masses of drones only create a cicada-like buzzing rather than the massive booms that can frighten and confuse pets, often prompting escape attempts. 🎆Robb Report
