Drone show added for Red, White & BOOM! for 2025
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Red, White & BOOM!, the biggest fireworks show in the Midwest, will be even bigger, better and more spectacular in 2025.
After nearly 45 years, a modern twist is coming to the Downtown Columbus celebration. BOOM! organizers have announced that, in addition to traditional fireworks, a drone show will entertain viewers as the night's 'opening act.'
At 10 p.m., on July 3, 216 drones will lift off to dazzle a crowd of more than 400,000 fans with a fascinating synchronized display. Local drone show company, Nite Brite, will handle the performance. The added element is thanks to G&J Pepsi, one of the event's presenting sponsors, in honor of the beverage bottler's 100th anniversary.
NBC4's coverage of the event begins at 4 p.m. on First at 4. Viewers can watch the entire show starting at 8 p.m. on NBC4, and our new TV streaming app, NBC4 Columbus.
BOOM! is the largest single-day event in Columbus and would not be possible without all the volunteers, vendors, and sponsors, NBC4, WNCI and G&J Pepsi, which have invested in the event.
