The Lakewood Township will be holding its first-ever drone show in honor of Independence Day, TLS has learned.

The drone show, being performed by Orion Skys, will be in addition to the fireworks show, Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles told TLS.

Mayor Coles says the due to last year’s cancellation as a result of rain, the Township had extra funds, and will be using the funds for the drone show – which is comparable in price to a fireworks show.

The mega show coincides with America’s 250th birthday celebration this July 4th.

“America’s 250th birthday doesn’t come around every day,” said Mayor Coles, and this show will make our residents extra proud to be an American.”

The show scheduled will be announced in the coming weeks.
