June 1, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-06-01 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is considering options for its 4th of July celebration. The proposed events include a drone show costing $50,000, or fireworks alone for $39,000 plus a $9,000 shorebird permit. Another option is to add a drone show to the fireworks for a total of $10,000. These options are currently under review by the City Council. The planning stage for this event could involve securing permits, coordinating logistics, and contracting for entertainment services. Businesses specializing in event planning, entertainment services, and potentially specialized equipment rental could find opportunities. Early engagement with city staff during this review period may provide insight into the final decision and potential needs.
