For the second consecutive year, Pixis Drones had the honor of transforming the night sky over Rainbow City, AL, into a breathtaking canvas of light and color for the 4th of July festivities. The second annual Freedom Flight event drew an impressive crowd of around 7,000 enthusiastic spectators, all eager to witness a truly unique and inclusive celebration.

This year's show was not only the longest have ever produced but also one of our most dynamic and engaging performances to date. With a fleet of 100 drones, we created a visual symphony that resonated deeply with the community, featuring an array of patriotic images and local tributes.

Highlights of the Show:

• Patriotic Imagery: The night sky was illuminated with stunning depictions of the American flag, the Statue of Liberty, and other patriotic symbols, invoking a sense of pride and unity among the spectators.
• Local College Pride: We proudly showcased imagery from local educational institutions, including Jacksonville State University (JSU), Auburn University, and the University of Alabama. This tribute celebrated the spirit and achievements of these esteemed colleges and their significance to the local community.
• Salutes to Local Heroes: As a special tribute, our show included salutes to the brave men and women of the local police and fire departments. Their unwavering dedication to keeping Rainbow City safe and secure was honored through powerful and emotive drone formations.
• STEM Program Representation: One of the most exciting moments was a rocket ship blasting off into the night sky, symbolizing the innovative spirit of a local STEM program. This segment underscored the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education in shaping the future of Rainbow City and beyond.

The response from the community was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees expressing their appreciation for the lack of loud explosions typically associated with traditional fireworks. Scott Hindsman, a Rainbow City resident, highlighted the inclusivity of our drone light show: "It's huge to have an alternative to a firework show...people with animals, sensory issues, or PTSD can’t enjoy the fireworks."

Mayor Joe Taylor also emphasized the city's commitment to progress: "We decided to vacate from normal fireworks and go to something sensational—a drone light show."

At Pixis Drones, we are dedicated to creating memorable and inclusive experiences that bring communities together. The success of this year's Freedom Flight in Rainbow City is a testament to the power of innovation and the joy of shared celebrations. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful event and look forward to many more spectacular shows in the future.

Thank you, Rainbow City, for your incredible support and for celebrating with us. Together, we lit up the sky and honored the spirit of freedom in a truly remarkable way.
