The Salute to the Union ceremony begins shortly afterward at 11:30 to 12:30 pm., and it includes an exciting F16 fly-over by the 162nd Fighter Wing of the Arizona Air National Guard.

 

Leave Your Drones at Home

Drones are not allowed in any city parks or fields during any of these events. It might be cool to get an aerial shot of the crowd or the fireworks, but this is not the place for them.

Flying a drone during the public fireworks display could be hazardous and will result in a delay in the show until the drone is grounded. So don't spoil everyone's fun - leave the drone at home.
