After an incredible year of drone shows, Sky Elements is excited to usher in a new era of aerial entertainment in 2024. The team worked diligently through the holiday season to make this New Year’s Eve memorable for folks across the United States. From Auburn, Maine, to Honolulu, Hawaii, Sky Elements successfully launched over a dozen drone shows nationwide. The largest drone show launched on New Year’s Eve was the 500-drone show Sky Elements, performed next to the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. This year was filled with many firsts for the team, and we’re looking forward to making more memories in the new year.

Auburn, Maine, and New Bedford, Massachusetts, flew a combined 250 drones, illuminating the skies over the Northeast. The Southeast cities of Baytowne Wharf and Sarasota, Florida, opted for drone shows for their New Year’s celebrations, keeping the teams busy all night!

The West Closed Out 2023 With a Drone Show at the Space Needle and a Lake Tahoe Drone Show
The Emerald City flew a 500-drone show right next to the Space Needle, bringing the West Coast into 2024. The Seattle drone show flew alongside the country’s largest structurally launched fireworks display. The drone show revolved around the origins of the Needle at Seattle Center, showing images of a UFO flying over the mountains surrounding Seattle.
The UFO safely lands atop the Needle, creating what we know today as the Space Needle!

The Hawaiian drone show returned this year with double the drones after a successful celebration in 2023. Hawaiian drone shows are happening more frequently and have taken center stage alongside the many fireworks displays across the islands. Sky Elements Hawaii, the new franchise behind the drone shows, looks forward to more drone light shows in 2024.
Rosebowl Drone Show for the Tournament of Roses on New Year’s Day
Sky Elements flew the Rose Bowl’s first-ever drone show with its first drone show of 2024. The Tournament of Roses hosted a game between the University of Michigan and the University of Alabama.
After a near-record viewership game between the two schools, the Michigan Wolverines came out on top. Once the dust settled, fans stuck around for the Rose Bowl drone show. The show flew the logos of both teams and celebrated the New Year much like the shows the night before. The crowd cheered as the drones created The Granddaddy of Them All. As Michigan was presented with the trophy, a glorious 400-foot trophy rose above them. The excitement was palpable in what would truly be a Rose Bowl game to remember.
Reflecting on 2023 and What 2024 Holds for Sky Elements
2023 has been an incredible year for Sky Elements Drone Shows. The team achieved six Guinness World Records in an impressive feat, taking the drone show company into history. The team also graciously accepted many awards at the annual International Drone Show Competition and even flew a show there! Premiering on multiple national television programs, Sky Elements flew drone shows for both The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch and The Great Christmas Light Fight. The team is grateful for the opportunity to participate in so many incredible things this year and wishes everyone a Happy New Year. We look forward to returning to several events nationwide and starting new traditions for others!
