Will drone shows replace fireworks?

Can we expect to see more star-spangled celebrations involving drones rather than fireworks? More cities are embracing drone shows over fireworks on Fourth of July, and it’s not just in western states where wildfires run rampant.
Single-use fireworks can cause air pollution, leading to opposition from environmental activists and the noise upsets some pets.
Mainly because most communities didn’t know it was an option before this year, companies offering the shows were unable to accept a vast marjority of the requests for this year when compared to 2021.
Typically, between 100 and 500 drones are used to create shows that last 10 to 12 minutes. Fees start at around $25,000 compared to a small fireworks display that can cost $2,000. One drone option selling point is that each show can be customized to simulate fireworks, create patriotic images, spell out messages and tell a unique story.
