Hire a Drone Light Show in Oakland
Oakland gives a drone show something most cities cannot: an estuary and a bay to fly over, with the San Francisco skyline behind it. Hire UAV Pro produces shows across the East Bay, from ballpark nights to waterfront celebrations and corporate events, with FAA-certified pilots and $10 million in insurance.

Shows we have flown here
We have produced 75 to 100 drone shows at the Oakland ballpark for minor league baseball nights, and we fly regularly across the Bay Area including a 300-drone brand activation in San Francisco. Baseball is a particularly good fit — the crowd is already seated, the sightlines are fixed, and the show closes the night without the fire risk or cleanup of pyrotechnics.
Where Oakland drone shows fly
The estuary and Jack London Square give water for reflections and long sightlines. The ballpark and arena precinct handles large seated audiences. Lake Merritt sits at the centre of the city for civic events, and the hills above Oakland give elevation and views across the bay. Corporate campuses throughout the East Bay suit private company events.
Bay fog and evening wind
The Bay Area season runs late spring through autumn, but summer evenings bring marine layer and fog that can move in quickly, particularly near the water. Wind funnelling through the Golden Gate is the other factor. We plan go/no-go thresholds and a backup window into every booking rather than deciding on the night, and September and October are often the clearest months of the year here.
Bay Area airspace
Oakland International sits south of downtown, with SFO across the water and San Jose to the south, making this some of the busiest airspace in the country. Stadium events add temporary restrictions of their own. Shows are very much possible — we fly here regularly — but lead time and venue choice both matter. Send us the site first.
Fire restrictions in California
California fire seasons cancel fireworks routinely, and coastal and hillside venues are among the first to lose approval. A drone show removes the ignition risk entirely, which is why California cities, ballparks and private venues increasingly book them for Independence Day and New Year celebrations.
What every Oakland 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.
