A massive drone show is returning to Denver’s Civic Center Park to celebrate Independence Day.
The “Indy Eve” celebration, presented by the Civic Center Conservancy and the City and County of Denver, is scheduled for from 5 to 10 p.m. July 3 and is free and open to all ages.
The event kicks off with music, food and shopping at a night market in Civic Center Park.
Event organizers said there will be roaming circus performers, games and “make and take” art activities in an area set up for families.
At 8 p.m., the Colorado Symphony’s Brass & Percussion Ensemble is scheduled to perform, followed by United in Light, which organizers described as “an electrifying LED circus spectacle set against a kaleidoscope of color, motion and sound.”

The evening will culminate as 300 drones take to the sky above Civic Center Park, in a show that features iconic Denver and Colorado landmarks. Last year, the drone show took place from 9:40 to 10 p.m.
The park will be fenced off during the event, with the main entrance at Broadway between Colfax and 14th avenues. A secondary entrance will be set up at Colfax and Bannock near the front of the McNichols Building.
All attendees will be subject to security screening.
There’s a lengthy list of prohibited items, including weapons, pets, coolers, grills, fireworks, sports equipment, cigarettes and vape pens, marijuana and illegal substances. For the full list, visit CivicCenterPark.org.
