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.

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.
