Drone Show for July 4

Lincoln City, Oregon will present the Oregon Coast’s first Fourth of July drone light show, positioning our community as a leader in stewardship-friendly celebrations. The custom-designed show will feature local themes and aerial artistry from Sky Elements, a seven-time Guinness World Record holder. Sky Elements is the largest drone show provider in the United States.

The drone show Lincoln City has planned for 2025 is a choreographed display of 200 drones, each fitted with brilliant LED lights that create stunning, precise formations, shapes and animations in the night sky, synchronized to music. These shows serve as a contemporary alternative to traditional fireworks displays, offering a unique, customizable, and eco-friendly form of entertainment.

A mesmerizing 15-minute display will combine music and lights, creating magical formations against the night sky. The show is highly visible and offers excellent viewing opportunities throughout our traditional celebration areas.

A drone show offers a new kind of visual entertainment in the night sky. While fireworks create bright bursts and loud booms, a drone show features illuminated drones moving in formation to music, creating shapes, animations and stories in the sky. This sophisticated use of technology enables show producers to form recognizable images and symbols for a unique and memorable experience. While quieter than traditional fireworks, drone shows deliver visual excitement through choreographed movement, color changes and dynamic patterns. Best of all, when the show ends, there’s no debris, smoke or toxic chemical residue on our beaches or in our community.

The drone show will be visible from traditional viewing areas in the Taft District at 51st St and Ebb Ave and along adjacent Siletz Bay. The precise nature of drone technology allows for optimal viewing from multiple locations, and we’ll provide a detailed viewing guide as we approach the event.
