Destin City Council Approves $58K July 4th Drone and Fireworks Show
Destin City Council has approved a $58,000 plan for a combined drone and fireworks display for Independence Day. The decision follows a previous proposal for a standalone drone show and addresses community concerns over fireworks amidst environmental considerations.

Destin City Council voted unanimously to proceed with a $58,000 July 4th show featuring both drones and fireworks. The council previously discussed a standalone drone show but decided to combine it with fireworks due to the significance of the 250th anniversary of the nation.
The show will be launched from Eglin Air Force Base Beach Park, with viewing from Destin's Harbor Walk Village, although environmental concerns regarding nesting shorebirds at Norriego Point have been raised. Logistics for the drone implementation are still being finalized, with a final vote anticipated at the next council meeting.
