Shows we have flown in Long Beach
We have produced a 190-drone waterfront show and a 90-drone community show in Long Beach, alongside larger Southern California work including a 500-drone show across two launches at Redondo Beach and a 750-drone show at Hollywood Forever. The harbour is a well-understood venue for us.
Where Long Beach drone shows fly
The waterfront and Rainbow Harbour give water, crowd space and a skyline together. The Queen Mary precinct is a distinctive backdrop and has the ground infrastructure a show needs. The convention centre area suits conferences and corporate events, and the beaches east of downtown work for community celebrations.
Marine layer and coastal wind
Late spring through autumn is the season, but May and June bring marine layer that can sit low over the coast into the evening. September and October are usually the clearest months of the year here. Onshore wind is the other factor, and we set go/no-go thresholds and a backup window into every coastal booking.
Los Angeles basin airspace
Long Beach Airport sits inside the city, with LAX to the north-west and John Wayne to the south-east, plus significant helicopter traffic across the basin. This is busy airspace and venue choice matters, though we fly here regularly. Tell us the site first and we will confirm what is possible.
California fire restrictions
Fire seasons cancel fireworks across California every year, and coastal venues are often among the first to lose approval. A drone show removes the ignition risk entirely and leaves no debris in the harbour or on the sand, which is why Southern California cities and venues increasingly book them for Independence Day and New Year events.
What every Long Beach show includes
Custom show design previewed in 3D before approval, the drone fleet sized to your audience, FAA Part 107 certified pilots and ground crew, airspace authorization and FAA coordination, $10 million insurance with certificates issued to your venue, site survey and crowd separation planning, music synchronization, and full production and teardown. Travel is built into the quote — no surprise mobilization fees.
