Thousands of people gathered to watch 300 drones flown in the patriotic tribute by Sky Elements, who were recently seen in the current season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. The inaugural Fourth of July event replaced traditional fireworks with the silent drone light show and was accompanied by the Ocala Symphony Orchestra who performed inside the Reilly Arts Center and was broadcast outside. Patriotic Skies was delayed several hours due to inclement weather and lightning nearby. [Bruce Ackerman/Ocala Gazette] 2024.
