About This Show
We flew 300 drones for the City of Mesa’s July 4th, 2026 celebration, a show built around America’s 250th anniversary and the largest show on our record.
What the Night Needed
Mesa’s Independence Day celebration in 2026 marked 250 years of the United States, and the city wanted a show that matched the occasion for a large public crowd.
How We Designed It
The show was themed around the 250th celebration of the USA, with patriotic imagery including a red, white, and blue eagle, at a scale that let the formations carry large-format imagery.
Planning the Venue
Guests watched from Mesa Amphitheatre and the festivities around it, with the show in open sky nearby and the flight area kept separate from the crowd.
FAA authorizations, airspace coordination, and city permitting were handled as part of the show.
