LUMINOSITY, a community-based organization dedicated to fostering unity through the arts in Ocean Beach, is excited to announce an extraordinary Fourth of July Drone Show that will light up the skies above Ocean Beach and Point Loma. This mesmerizing display of technology and artistry will take place on July 4th, starting at 9:05 p.m., and promises to be an unforgettable experience for residents and visitors alike. In partnership with Peninsula Alliance, a 501(c) non-profit organization, LUMINOSITY has organized the inaugural drone light show as an alternative to the traditional Ocean Beach Fourth of July Fireworks, which had to be suspended due to structural damage to the Ocean Beach Fishing Pier, the previous launching site for the fireworks. The pet-friendly Fourth of July Drone Light Show will feature an impressive fleet of 300 drones, meticulously choreographed to create stunning formations and patterns in the night sky. The entire show will be accompanied with a soundtrack, accessible to all on the LUMINOSITY Radio page. The display will be viewable throughout Ocean Beach and Point Loma with the Newport Avenue Business District being the prime spectator location. LUMINOSITY has collaborated with renowned experts in drone entertainment, Skyworx Drone Shows, and Global Drone Network, to bring this first of its kind display to Ocean Beach. Thanks to the support of community sponsors and individual donations, this event will be made possible without any public funding. LUMINOSITY is immensely grateful to the sponsors and donors who have generously contributed to this celebration. A special thanks to Starlight Sponsor; IBEW Local 569. To further support the Fourth of July Drone Show and contribute to future community events, donations can be made through the LUMINOSITY website on the Donations page. Every donation counts and will help LUMINOSITY to create a new tradition for the Ocean Beach community. Make sure to mark your calendars for July 4th, as the skies above Ocean Beach and Point Loma will come alive with a 3D display of drone artistry. Bring your family and friends to witness the first Fourth of July Drone Light Show in the City of San Diego. Ocean Beach Luminosity Festival on Facebook / Twitter
