The City of Wildwood is considering the use of drone technology for its 2027 Fourth of July fireworks display. This proposal suggests replacing traditional pyrotechnics with drones, citing safety advantages, comparable costs, and the potential for more advanced visual effects. The item is currently under review, with commissioners requesting more information. If approved, this project would involve planning and executing a drone-based aerial show. This could include site preparation for launch and control areas, coordination with drone operators and display designers, and potentially temporary infrastructure for the event. Local businesses in event planning, specialized technical services, and potentially site preparation could find opportunities. Early engagement with city officials before final plans are set may provide an advantage.
