This July 4th marks the nation’s 250th anniversary! Chapel Hill is celebrating with a new type of show that reimagines our long-standing community gathering.
Technology meets creativity in this year’s drone show at Chapel Hill High School, presented by Skyworx. A collection of 300 synchronized drones will lift off and arrange themselves into shapes and images, using light and color to paint designs across the Chapel Hill sky.
A new show and location bring exciting changes to this year’s event. See our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about these decisions: https://www.chapelhillarts.org/calendar/july-4th/
