Mayor Lueb: 
"This year's celebration will offer a unique, visually stunning Tigard-centric experience. With this change we are able to address some of the concerns that we've heard about a traditional fireworks show and provide a celebration that can include everyone. Drone shows are a safer and environmentally friendly alternative where we can create a more enjoyable atmosphere and reduce our fire risk, noise pollution, and produces less debris. I am excited for the community to join me in embracing the start of a new July 4th tradition."

City Manager Steve Rymer: 
"With over 200 drones lighting up the Tigard night sky, community members can expect a spectacular display that is both innovative and safe. We look forward to a large turnout and hearing feedback on this new way of celebrating. Community input is invaluable as we continue to enhance our community events."
