Join the City of Fremont and Fremont Bank for a special America 250th Drone Show following the July 2nd Summer Concert Series in Central Park!

Beginning at approximately 9:00 p.m., more than 350 synchronized drones will illuminate the night sky above Lake Elizabeth with patriotic imagery, dynamic aerial formations, and a special tribute to Fremont in celebration of America's 250th Anniversary. The drone show is expected to last approximately 15 minutes and will conclude prior to Central Park's 10:00 p.m. closing time.
