For the first time, 100 drones from Starlight Aerial Productions will light up the night sky over Lake Cadillac. The performance, set to music, will display patriotic scenes of freedom and bravery. Fireworks can be stressful for our nation’s veterans and others, so festival organizers say this is a chance for a stress-free experience. “The explosions are not going to be there.
