During January and early February a flock of 350 drones will take to the skies above Melbourne for the Summer Nights Drone Show, a sparkling aerial display of colour and light. Think of the show as stars coming to life, with eight-minute shows running every night from January 15 to February 5.
Those viewing the show from Jan 15 to 24 will hear local creative (and 2020 National Poetry Slam winner) Ren Alessandra's 'Melbourne, Feel the Sound' work. Those viewing the display from Jan 25 to Feb 5 will be treated to Wurundjeri creation tale 'How the Platypus (Dulai Wurrung) Was Made'.
The show comes from international drone art organisation Celestial, which has previously provided a drone performance for Edinburgh's 2020 New Year's Eve celebrations, as well as for Amnesty International's 60th anniversary.
The Summer Nights Drone Show is free and can be viewed over Victoria Harbour in Docklands at 9.30pm each night.
