New York City, July 4, 2023 — For the first time, Macy’s, in partnership with the City of New York and in collaboration with Pyrospectaculars by Souza and Verge Aero, surprised spectators with the first-ever live drone show in NYC ahead of the start of the iconic Macy's 4th of July Fireworks. Millions of Americans had a front row seat as 500 Verge Aero drones extended the musical performance stage, created awe inspiring shapes above the East River and introduced the first seconds of the nation’s biggest Independence Day celebration.
Footage from the show was featured in many global news sites including ABC News and USA Today and made a splash across social media.
Verge Aero and Pyro Spectaculars extend their sincere appreciation to Macy's and New York City for their support and partnership in making this event a reality. This show represents a significant milestone in the evolution of aerial entertainment and serves as a testament to our shared commitment to innovation and unforgettable experiences.
