Big Bear Labor Day Drone Show

Experience a breathtaking alpine evening as the sky above Big Bear Lake lights up in a dazzling display of color and choreography.  This free community celebration features a fully synchronized drone light show visible from lakeside locations like Veteran’s Park and The Village.  Hosted by Visit Big Bear, this event invites you to gather, relax, and enjoy a magical night under the stars. The show starts after sunset.

The word "BIG BEAR" is spelled out in lights by drones, with its reflection visible on the water below during a night-time show in Big Bear.

Experience Big Bear Like Never Before

The Drone Show launches from Pine Knot Marina and can be enjoyed from multiple locations including the Big Bear Lake Visitor Center, Rotary Park, Veteran’s Park, and The Village. The sky show begins at 9:00 PM, so be sure to arrive early to secure the perfect viewing spot — or reserve a boat for an unforgettable lakefront experience.
