Drone shows in Racine
Racine County is home ground for drone shows in southeast Wisconsin, and the team we pass enquiries to is based here, so travel adds little.
Airspace
Batten International Airport runs without a tower, so clearance is often lighter than near Mitchell or Timmerman. FAA authorization is still part of every show.
The lakefront
Racine’s Lake Michigan shoreline gives a wide, dark sky for a show seen from the beach or harbor. Lakefront land is usually city property, so the city’s own event and permit rules apply.
Who books here
Holiday events and light displays, downtown and harbor festivals, corporate events, and villages adding to or replacing fireworks.
Shows start at 150 drones; see typical budgets in the cost guide or run the show planner for Racine.
