WHEELING, W.Va. – Drone light shows are spectacular aerial events and now the Ohio Valley has a chance to see them in person.
Oglebay will kick off its Festival of Lights with two drone shows on Thursday, November 7 and Saturday, November 9.
Sky Elements, one of the world’s largest drone show companies and a finalist on this season’s America’s Got Talent, will put on the show with more than a hundred synchronized drones. The drones will be synchronized to holiday music and create vibrant holiday-themed visuals.
Oglebay advertises the drone show as a “must-see event for families.”
Drone shows are becoming more common and may outpace fireworks in popularity. Ohio Valley residents who have seen a drone show say they are impressive. Pam Bulger, of New Athens, Ohio, saw the drone light show at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Balloon Classic in Canton in July and says these shows are something you do not want to miss.
i’ve never seen anything like it. it was beautiful with the patterns, colors and music. if you get a chance to see a drone show, you gotta go!
