BELOIT — The Beloit Sky Carp will offer a first-of-its-kind drone show that will light up the sky above downtown Beloit following their Wednesday, July 10th game against the Cedar Rapids Kernels.
The show, called “Celebration of America” is put on by Sky Elements Drone Shows, and will feature 100 illuminated drones moving in concert above ABC Supply Stadium in sync with patriotic music.
The postgame display is believed to be the first drone show of its size ever held in the Beloit area.
“We always strive to bring to Beloit experiences that people may only get in large cities, and we wanted to provide a special treat to reflect our pride in our country,” said Sky Carp co-owner Quint Studer. “Beloit may not be large in size, but we are large in heart.”
The team points out that the solar-powered drones provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fireworks shows with less noise and mess in downtown Beloit.
The Sky Carp anticipate high demand for the show and encourage fans to buy their tickets as soon as possible to reserve their spot. The game is scheduled to begin at 6:35, with gates opening at 5:30.
Single-game tickets, mini plans, group outings, and season tickets for the 2024 season are available now at Skycarp.com and the ABC Supply Stadium box office.
