High Tech Drone Show Launching Over St. George Skies

This Unique Display is Coming to Southern Utah

I have been wanting to see a drone show ever since they started to become a thing. I have seen them on television and the internet, but never in person. If you are like me and just haven’t been near a place lighting up the skies with these dancing drones, the wait is over.

Along with all the festivities taking place in St. George for the first ever Dixie Days Celebration, there will be a drone show over the city. This is from the cities news release:

Sept. 9: Dixie Days Drone Show, 9 p.m., from above Red Hills Desert Garden. Great viewing areas available throughout downtown — wherever the Red Hill can be seen.

This is just what I was looking for and it is the perfect place to put it. Everyone will be able to see it from anywhere in the bowl area.

Dixie Days Will Feature All Sorts of Activities

There are a several events taking place during Dixie Days. Look for the Round Up Rodeo with the parade along with many new activities like a road race, hikes, film screenings and more. I think this is a good addition to Southern Utah.
