Plan Your Ride to the Drone Show Extravaganza!

The countdown is on! On Saturday, November 7, the night sky over the Atlantic will come alive as hundreds of lighted drones create a dazzling, choreographed salute in honor of Veterans Day Weekend. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and the talented creative team at Firefly Drone Shows, this free, family-friendly spectacular will once again soar high above our City.

The smartest move of the night will be planning your transportation. With thousands of neighbors and visitors heading to the beach, a little pre-prep goes a long way toward a relaxed, stress-free evening. Here are your best options for getting there and back.
