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.
