SCOTTSDALE – CIVANA will be hosting their second annual spectacular aerial light show of 100 custom LED-lit drones on Saturday, July 6. The show will light up the night sky for Carefree and Cave Creek residents and visitors celebrating the Independence Day holiday weekend. Coupled with special resort and spa packages, culinary offerings, and other festivities at the resort throughout the weekend – including a Community Block Party
With the absence of the traditional fireworks show in Cave Creek and several cities, CIVANA, has commissioned Firefly Drone Shows to present a dazzling aerial light show that will include a variety of designs and formations, as well as patriotic elements and synchronized music. The desert-friendly alternative to the traditional fireworks display – called “CIVANA Lights: Drone Show Spectacular” – will light up the night sky 300 feet above the ground and can be viewed up to a mile away.
