Sparkling lights will fill the Davis night sky in a spectacular show as usual after Celebrate Davis this month—but there’s an exciting, more earth-friendly twist this year.
The grand finale of the 22nd annual Celebrate Davis will feature a live drone show instead of the traditional fireworks. Eco- and health-conscious event organizers around the country are transitioning to drone shows to lessen the environmental and health problems associated with burning fireworks.
Burning fireworks releases particulate matter (solid or liquid particles suspended in the air), heavy metals, and other pollutants. Breathing this can cause respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, or other health effects. The air pollution, water contamination and wildlife disruption associated with fireworks are also major catalysts.
The Davis Chamber of Commerce hosts Celebrate Davis, the annual celebration of all things Davis. The celebration is a time of community, allowing folks who call Davis home the chance to mingle with the human faces behind local businesses and organizations. It’s connection, community—and a really fun time hanging with friends on the lawn. Don’t forget your lawn blanket and sunscreen.
