Why Fairs Are Switching to Drone Shows

Bigger Nightime Crowds
Drone shows become the ‘can’t-miss’ moment of the fair, keeping guests on-site longer and driving food, ride, and game revenue
Premium Sponsorship Revenue
Safer & More Community-Friendly
Integrate sponsor logos, messages, and animations directly into the show to create high-value, sold-out sponsorship packages.
No explosives, no debris, and much quieter than fireworks — better for animals, veterans, and families.
How it Works

Showtime
Design
Our creative team designs custom animations for your fair — mascots, logos, text, and stories synchronized to music.
We handle on-site setup, safety checks, and live execution so your team can focus on the rest of the fair.
