Ocean Beach announces a Drone Light Show for the Fourth of July
LUMINOSITY, an organization in Ocean Beach, is excited to announce its collaboration with Global Drone Network (GDN) and Skyworx Drone Shows to bring a drone light show to the shores of the Pacific Ocean this Fourth of July.
This magnificent display of hundreds of synchronized drones will occur in the night sky just north of Ocean Beach Pier, where thousands of attendees are expected to gather.
On the ground, the LUMINOSITY Festival of Light will complement the drone light show with experimental light-based installations and projection mapping to create an immersive experience. The light projects will draw spectators to locations along the beachfront and the Newport Avenue and Voltaire Avenue business districts.
“With fireworks no longer able to be staged off the Ocean Beach Pier due to structural issues, coupled with environmental concerns and the negative effects fireworks have on pets, wildlife, and individuals who have PTSD, a change was needed,” stated Mike James, LUMINOSITY founder and longtime Ocean Beach activist. “We believe that the LUMINOSITY event will set a standard for communities looking to move away from fireworks.”
“We are excited to bring this innovative and exciting drone light show technology to the Luminosity Festival,” said Roy Laughlin, COO of GDN. “Together with our incredible producer, Skyworx, we will make this show an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance.”
“Skyworx is thrilled to team up and produce this amazing event with GDN,” said Taylor Woodall, CEO of Skyworx. “Our world-class team of engineers, pilots, and artists are excited to showcase our stunning combination of innovative drone technology and immersive design to bring an unforgettable experience to the Ocean Beach community.”
