2025 Town of Hingham Drone Show: Celebrating Independence Day and America’s 250th

• Wednesday, July 2, 2025 6PM – 9:30PM
• Hingham Bathing Beach
• Route 3A, Hingham

Hingham will light up the sky in a new way this Independence Day with its first-ever drone show on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.

Hosted at the Hingham Bathing Beach, this family-friendly evening is presented by the Town’s Harbor Development Committee in partnership with the Hingham Historical Society, Hingham Lions Club, and with generous underwriting support from the Mike Reilly Classic.

Festivities begin at 6PM with food trucks near the Iron Horse statue and extended hours at the Harbor Beach House. At 7PM, crowd favorite Booty Vortex takes the stage at the harbor bandstand. After dark, 300 synchronized drones will launch into the night sky, creating animated, music-accompanied images celebrating Hingham and it’s role in the American Revolution. In 2025, we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.

The Town of Hingham joins a growing movement to replace fireworks with environmentally conscious drone shows, reducing air and noise pollution and protecting local wildlife like nesting Oyster Catcher birds. The Hingham Lions Club, which presented July 4th fireworks for over 25 years, has worked closely with the Town to reimagine this celebration.

Donations are welcome to support the cost of the drone show and related programming and donors will be recognized in media surrounding the event. Click on the DONATE NOW button to contribute.

Event details including parking instructions are forthcoming. Stay tuned here and at the Town of Hingham website. Join us for a night that commemorates Independence Day, gathers our community and embraces the future!
