A stunning moment for sports, technology, and entertainment! Salt Lake City has once again captured the world’s attention! The announcement of the 2034 Winter Olympics, the city’s second time hosting this global event, was brought to life with an awe-inspiring celebration. At the center of it all? A breathtaking drone light show crafted by the experts at Open Sky Productions redefines the future of event entertainment.
From intricate aerial choreography to cutting-edge technology, this showcase was more than a performance—it was a visual story of sport, passion, and innovation.
The 2034 Winter Olympics Announcement
Salt Lake City is officially back in the Olympic spotlight.
On the historic night of July 24th, the International Olympic Committee announced Salt Lake City as the host city for the 2034 Winter Olympics. The announcement came from Paris and was broadcast live to an excited crowd gathered at Washington Square at 3 a.m. local time.
With Utah’s reputation as a winter sports haven and widespread excitement for the return of the Games, this announcement marked a monumental moment for the city and the entire state. The atmosphere was electric, with nearly a thousand residents, sports enthusiasts, and community leaders gathering before dawn to show their support. Parade floats, synchronized music, and the warm camaraderie of the attendees paved the way for the evening’s highlight—the drone light show.
The Drone Light Show by Open Sky Productions
Open Sky Productions delivered a visual feast that left the audience in awe. The 250 drones, controlled through precise GPS programming, painted the sky in dazzling formations and animations. The show opened with iconic Olympic imagery, including athletes skiing, snowboarding, and figure skating, all illuminated by vibrant LED lights. The pièce de résistance? The majestic display of the Olympic rings symbolizes unity and anticipation.
What made this drone show so special was its combination of storytelling and technology. Each drone was a pixel in a vast aerial canvas, moving seamlessly to craft images and scenes synchronized to music. This level of intricate choreography was no small feat—especially in the cold, high-altitude conditions of a Utah winter. Yet Open Sky Productions, known for their expertise in challenging environments, executed it flawlessly.

How to Plan Your Drone Light Show
Love what you saw at the 2034 Winter Olympics celebration? Here are a few tips for organizing your very own drone light show:
1- Choose an Open Space
Drone shows require spacious areas for takeoff and safe viewing. Keep the audience at least 400 feet away for a 400-foot flight altitude (a key safety regulation).
2- Decide on a Theme
What story or visual do you want to tell? Whether it’s a brand logo, a community symbol, or a custom animation, working with expert designers will bring your vision to life.
3- Allow Ample Planning Time
While smaller shows can be arranged within a week, more intricate events require weeks of preparation. This includes designing visuals, programming drones, and securing permits.
4- Customize with Technology
Enhance the experience with synchronized music, narration, or even added lighting effects. With the flexibility of drones, the options are nearly endless.
5- Work with Professionals
