DroneArt Show returns to Jacksonville this weekend with 1,000-drone performances and tiered ticket options

A two-night outdoor production near EverBank Stadium

Jacksonville is scheduled to host the DroneArt Show: Music That Lights Up The Night on Friday, February 27, and Saturday, February 28, 2026, with both performances listed for a 7:30 p.m. start. The event is planned at Tailgaters Parking, 225 Talleyrand Ave., an outdoor venue near EverBank Stadium.

Event information released by organizers lists the runtime at roughly 65 minutes and describes an open-air program combining live classical performance with a large, synchronized drone light display. The show is marketed as using 1,000 or more drones, with audience viewing arranged in designated picnic-style areas.

How much tickets cost and what the tiers include

Ticketing for the Jacksonville dates is structured by viewing section rather than reserved seating. Current listings for the weekend place general-admission picnic access in the mid-$30 range, with typical published prices ranging approximately from $34 to $42 depending on the area and session. A higher-priced VIP picnic option is listed around $105.

• General admission (Picnic Areas): Access to a designated viewing zone on a first-come, first-served basis. Organizers advise arriving early to secure preferred placement within the assigned area.

• VIP picnic: Access to a premium central viewing area, plus a personal picnic blanket and a dedicated fast-track entry line.

• Children: Kids under age 3 are listed as free for admission.

Separate from admission, on-site parking has been marketed at $15 for this event.

Operational and airspace considerations near a major stadium

Because Tailgaters Parking is adjacent to EverBank Stadium, drone operations in the area can intersect with broader safety and security controls that apply around large venues. Stadium policies published for Jaguars events prohibit drones over the stadium and adjacent lots during defined pre- and post-event windows, and federal rules also restrict drone flights near certain stadium events. For a ticketed drone production to operate in this setting, organizers have indicated they secured the authorizations needed to conduct the show as planned.

What attendees should know before heading downtown

Organizers have promoted doors opening about two hours before showtime, and have cautioned that late entry may not be permitted. As an outdoor nighttime event, attendees are advised to plan for weather conditions and potential traffic congestion around the sports complex.

The DroneArt Show is scheduled for Feb. 27–28, 2026, at Tailgaters Parking, with a 7:30 p.m. start and a listed duration of about 65 minutes.

With two performances scheduled for the weekend, ticket availability and final pricing can vary by session and remaining inventory. Attendees typically need to confirm the selected date, picnic area tier, and any parking purchase during checkout.
