Drone light choreographies that write your event across the sky: silent, without fallout, piloted to the millimeter by Celesta.

  • Pyrotechnic display featuring drones in Buchy

    Pyrotechnic display featuring drones in Buchy

    A demonstration to showcase the new hybrid formats

    In Buchy, Celesta organised a technical demonstration combining a pyrotechnic display and a swarm of light drones, designed to showcase to local authorities the possibilities offered by these hybrid formats, which are still relatively uncommon.

    Creating a dialogue between light drones and pyrotechnic displays

    The exercise involves synchronising two technologies with very different approaches: the programmed precision of drones and the controlled spontaneity of pyrotechnics. The result offers a much wider range of effects than a traditional fireworks display.

    Two sets of regulations, one production process

    This type of show is governed by both European Regulation 2019/947 on drone flights and Decree No. 2010-455 on the pyrotechnic elements. Celesta’s teams manage these two regulatory frameworks in parallel, with dedicated teams for each technical aspect.

    A glimpse of what tomorrow’s town show will be like

    Given the restrictions sometimes imposed on pyrotechnic shows during periods of drought, this type of demonstration enables local authorities to plan for hybrid solutions that can adapt to climatic constraints without compromising on the scale of the show.

  • Marly-le-Roi Town Festival: A Drone Show and Fireworks Display

    Marly-le-Roi Town Festival: A Drone Show and Fireworks Display

    A town celebration in the heart of a royal park

    The Fête de Marly returns every June to the grounds of the Domaine royal de Marly, in the Yvelines. For the Saturday 13 June 2026 edition, the town council wanted a night-time highlight that would be both popular and contemporary: free to attend, open from 8.30 pm and closed by the main show. The Grand Miroir basin, laid out under Louis XIV, provided a natural stage for the performance.

    250 drones and pyrotechnics synchronised to the music

    “From the Earth to the Moon” traces humanity’s relationship with the sky, from the dream of flight to the conquest of space. The 250 luminous drones drew swarm figures in dialogue with the pyrotechnic effects fired from the edges of the basin. Celesta’s teams wrote this moment of wonder, set the synchronisation to the music and deployed the illuminated pathway leading to the night show.

    Safety and the regulatory framework

    A production on this scale relies on a safety perimeter, a controlled audience capacity and the required administrative declarations. Drone flights fall under European regulation 2019/947. The pyrotechnic display is governed by French decree no. 2010-455 of 4 May 2010 on entertainment fireworks. Celesta’s certified pyrotechnicians and the autonomy of its ICPE-classified storage facility secured the production and its schedule.

    A hybrid show of fireworks and drones: the benefit for the community

    For a town, this kind of production creates a moment of collective memory, showcases a heritage site and brings the generations together with no ticket barrier. Choosing drones adds a narrative layer and lowers the sound footprint compared with fireworks alone. Our experience in the field: pairing drones with pyrotechnics holds a family audience’s attention better than a single medium. And when heatwaves lead to firing bans, a luminous drone show on its own can save a municipal night event from that force majeure.
