by Alton Worley II, KOMO News StaffProfessional fireworks shows return for thousands of Fourth of July spectators A drone show is taking the place of Renton 's annual 4th of July show, except the drone show won’t actually be on the 4th of July.
The City of Renton announced they would be shifting their summer entertainment focus in 2024 so the drone show could return to the 2024 Renton River Days lineup. 200 drones will light up the night sky on Friday, July 26, as part of the 39th annual Renton River Days event kickoff. “The Fourth of July fireworks show has been a long tradition, but in consideration of environmental impacts, noise concerns for pets and community members, and the additional funds needed to source a barge with the recent upgrades to the North Water Walk, the city decided to direct resources toward events that truly serve Renton residents, like Renton River Days,” the City of Renton said in a press release.
The city also said that the change aligns with the city's commitment to environmental stewardship and that they hope the drone show will provide a captivating experience for all community members. “We look forward to celebrating with you on July 26 and throughout the Renton River Days Festival,” said the City of Renton.
