Drone shows in Caledonia
Caledonia is home to the Christmas Carnival of Lights, one of the area’s biggest drive-through light shows.
Christmas Carnival of Lights
Each season, Jellystone Park Camp Resort runs a drive-through route of about a mile and a half with around two million lights, light tunnels and a singing tree. Drone shows here started at the same campground.
The village
Caledonia is a village of about 25,000 on Lake Michigan in northeast Racine County, with a rural feel, horse farms and parks.
Airspace
Batten International in Racine, the closest airport, is untowered. The FAA side is handled for every show regardless.
Shows start at 150 drones; see typical budgets in the cost guide or run the show planner for Caledonia.
