Drone Show Extravaganza 2025 in Pompano Beach

A Free Family Event at the Beach

Look up and get ready to be amazed! The 2025 Drone Show Extravaganza will light up the night sky above Pompano Beach with hundreds of illuminated drones moving in a choreographed dance set to music. It’s a one-of-a-kind waterfront experience, free and family-friendly, best enjoyed right from the sand just south of the Fisher Family Pier.

"Thank you Veterans" spelled out in the sky in red, white, and blue with drones.

A Sky Full of Lights

As the sun sets, the beach transforms into a natural amphitheater. When the show begins at 7:00 PM, the drones will rise above the ocean, forming dazzling shapes and patterns that will leave you speechless. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a South Florida night — with ocean breezes, sandy toes, and stars both in the sky and on stage.
