Drone shows in Grafton
Grafton’s Christmas parade is one of the bigger ones north of Milwaukee, with more than 100 units on Wisconsin Avenue.
Parade and tree lighting
The parade runs the Saturday after Thanksgiving, with Breakfast with Santa the same day, and a separate community tree lighting lights more than 20 trees downtown.
Airspace
Grafton is a long way from any towered airport; West Bend Municipal, the closest, is untowered. That usually means less airspace work than in Milwaukee, though every show still goes through the FAA.
Shows start at 150 drones; see typical budgets in the cost guide or run the show planner for Grafton.
