“Fireworks with drones” describes a new type of aerial show where coordinated drones replace or complement traditional rockets. Instead of short-lived bursts of light, you get precisely choreographed images, lettering, symbols, and flowing animations in the sky. Companies, cities, and event organizers use this modern form of staging to tell powerful visual stories, highlight logos, or communicate emotional messages with far greater clarity and impact.
Compared to classic fireworks, the sky remains clearer, the show is fully controllable, and all visual elements can be aligned precisely with your brand, your occasion, or your campaign goals. This makes drone fireworks an innovative, flexible, and environmentally friendly alternative for events of any size.

Showmatrix supports you from the very first idea through to the finished show in the sky. We advise you on whether a pure drone show or a combination with pyrotechnics makes more sense for your event. We then develop a creative concept that fits your occasion, your budget and your safety requirements. Our team takes care of technical planning, permits, setup and on-site execution. After the event, we can provide photo and video material that you can use for marketing and PR. This way, your “fireworks with drones” remains visible long after the show is over.
With classic fireworks, effects are created by pyrotechnic explosions that are only visible for a brief moment and generate a lot of smoke and waste. Fireworks with drones use illuminated drones to create stable images, lettering and animations in the sky. The show is easier to control and can be aligned precisely with brand messages or specific themes. Noise and emissions are significantly lower compared to traditional fireworks. At the same time, the visual “wow effect” for the audience is fully preserved.
Yes, many events deliberately use a combination of both elements. Drones create the precise images and logos, while selected pyrotechnic effects add extra dynamics and impact. Careful planning is essential so that safety, distances and show sequences are perfectly coordinated. Showmatrix develops an integrated concept for this kind of hybrid show. This results in a production that truly combines tradition and innovation.
They are ideal for city festivals, anniversaries, large corporate events, openings, sports events or national celebrations. Wherever large audiences come together and a strong visual staging is desired, fireworks with drones can fully play to their strengths. They are also a good solution for events with a strong sustainability focus or strict regulatory requirements. The show can be flexibly scaled in size and complexity to match your event.
Clear legal regulations apply to drone shows, and we fully take these into account during planning. Showmatrix handles coordination with the relevant authorities, prepares detailed safety concepts and defines restricted zones. When combining drones with pyrotechnics, additional requirements are reviewed and integrated into the overall plan. This ensures that your event is both spectacular and fully compliant with all legal and safety standards. You have a single, central point of contact for all questions.
n most cases, yes, because significantly less pyrotechnics are used—or they can be avoided entirely. This noticeably reduces fine dust, waste and noise pollution. The drones are reusable, and the technology is energy-efficient. For cities, companies and organizers that care about environmental impact and brand image, this is a major advantage. At the same time, you still get the full emotional impact of a large-scale sky show.
