A local celebration with Airloom
Waynesboro selected Airloom for GloW, its drone show celebration, with a 200-drone programme announced for July 2025. The city moved to drones after site restrictions affected its former fireworks celebration.
For organisers, GloW offers a useful starting point: choose a viewing area, coordinate the evening programme and give the audience a shared finale. A previous show does not approve every nearby site; Airloom reviews each venue separately.

Quick answers
Can we use a park or a riverside venue?
Send the venue address and an audience estimate. Airloom reviews launch space, access, the viewing area and airspace before confirming a Waynesboro show.
How much does a drone show cost?
Projects generally start around $15,000. Your quote confirms the show design, site needs, travel costs and availability.
How early should we book?
Allow 4–6 weeks for planning. Restricted sites may take longer, and complex FAA waivers may need 90+ days. Airloom handles permits and flight planning for the agreed site.
Can we include music and sponsor images?
Yes. Share the story, music and sponsor ideas you have in mind. Airloom recommends a show design that fits the event, budget and site.
