The drone show will start at 9:15 pm.

A big THANK YOU to the creative and talented teen pilots and SVVSD staff for the hundreds of hours of work it will take to prepare this amazing show for the City of Longmont!

Where to Watch the Show

The Street Party area in downtown (on Emery St between 1st and 3rd Aves) will be a great place to view the drone and fireworks shows. Both shows will be visible from many places in Longmont that have a clear view of the sky above Dickens Farm Nature Area (drone show) and Longmont Fire Training Center (fireworks). The green space south of Left Hand Creek and north of the Longmont Museum and Recreation Center will offer a comfortable spot with great views.

Note that both the Dickens Farm Nature Area and Longmont Fire Training Center, including the creek and trails, will be closed to viewers and vehicles.

Day of: visit LongmontColorado.gov/fireworks for information about show delays or cancellation due to high winds, thunderstorms, or other poor weather conditions.

Once again, the Skyline Kiwanis Club of Longmont Colorado will gift our City with an awe-inspiring fireworks display. THANK YOU to Kiwanis club members and event sponsors!

The fireworks show will start at 9:30 pm.
