 The downtown Dallas sky on New Year’s Eve will once again dazzle as the city celebrates with a bigger and better Lone Star NYE event, a spectacular gift from Hunt Realty Investments. This year’s celebration will feature an expanded display with more than 5,000 pyrotechnic special effects launched from Reunion Tower, an impressive 259-LED light display and 500 drones flying high, making this a New Year’s spectacle like never before. Local DFW drone partners, Sky Elements, return. They are known for their drone light shows, current Guinness World Record titles and as a finalist this year on America’s Got Talent.

“Since January, our team has been dedicated to creating an extraordinary experience for this year’s New Year’s Eve show,” said Dusti Groskreutz, president of Reunion Tower. “It’s a privilege for the iconic Reunion Tower to bring this celebration to life for our city. We can’t wait to surprise and delight everyone who tunes in, making it a cherished part of their holiday traditions and memories for years to come.”
