Chapel Hill High School
This July 4th marks the nation’s 250th anniversary! Chapel Hill is celebrating with a new type of show that reimagines our long-standing community gathering.
Technology meets creativity in this year’s drone show at Chapel Hill High School, presented by Skyworx. A collection of 300 synchronized drones will lift off and arrange themselves into shapes and images, using light and color to paint designs across the Chapel Hill sky.
A new show and location bring exciting changes to this year’s event. Scroll down to our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about these decisions.
We know annual traditions carry great meaning for many people. We hope you and your loved ones will join us for what could become a fun new tradition. Thank you to everyone who provided input in our July 4th survey in 2024.
