## Caption

A ballet of 300 drones lit up the night sky at the St. Pete Pier on Saturday to mark the latest pier iteration's one-year anniversary. Here are a few of those scenes.⁠⁠

The show's Detroit-based producer is one of just a handful in the U.S. permitted to perform the choreography of lighted drones.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Fireworks have been around for centuries. Drones weren’t even a consideration a decade ago. And for entertainment value, a drone light show involves animators, millions of lines of computer code and two to three months of work to complete.⁠⁠
