Community events

City-scale spectacle on a budget a parks department can actually sign off.

A city drone show is large-scale public spectacle at a cost a parks department can put in front of a council. Signature shows run 8 to 12 minutes and need no fallout zone, no fire watch and no cleanup crew the next morning.

Built for a budget that gets read out loud

Municipal budgets get scrutinized in public, so we quote them that way. Fleet, choreography, licensing, travel, permitting: each one is its own line. Nothing is bundled into a single number you then have to defend in a meeting. And if a Signature show from the catalog fits your budget better than a custom production, we'll say so rather than sell you up.

Permits and paperwork

We pull the FAA authorization and the local permits ourselves. Your risk manager will want the operating limits in writing, and we'd rather send those at the quote stage than the week before the event.

Make it about the town

The shows that land hardest are the ones that are specifically local: an anniversary year, a landmark, the outline of a mountain everyone in the crowd can name. Brian Head's fiftieth is the one we point to. That's semi-custom work.

Shows of this kind.

Common questions

How much does a drone show cost?
Four things set the number: how many drones fly, how much of the show is built for you rather than adapted from our catalog, where you're flying and what it takes to get there, and how long the show runs. A short catalog show over an easy site is the low end; original choreography for a few hundred aircraft is the high end. We price each show for the night it flies, so rather than quote a range you would have to guess your way into, we'll get on a call, work out which of those four apply to you, and build a budget around it. Every quote is line-itemed before you sign.
Do you handle permits?
All of them. FAA authorization, local permits, venue coordination. You sign nothing with a government agency.
Is it safe?
Every show flies under FAA airspace authorization with permits we pull ourselves. Geofenced flight paths, pre-flight checks on every drone, a safety perimeter no audience member crosses.
Is there cleanup?
None. No debris, no chemicals, no shells. The drones land, we pack the cases, the venue looks untouched.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to four months is a comfortable runway. It protects your date and leaves room to design properly. We've turned a show around in a week when we had to, so ask even if your date is close.

Ready when the sky is.
