After two years of Fourth of July celebrations without fireworks during the COVID-19 pandemic, the California resort community of North Lake Tahoe is ready to light up the sky again. But instead of traditional fireworks, more than 100 drones will take off for a light show choreographed to music. Like an increasing number of communities throughout the region, city planners chose fire safety and sustainability over nostalgia as California copes with a cruel megadrought<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cFireworks come with their own list of known environmental impacts\u2014including noise pollution, impacts to the lake, and increased risk of fire at a time when the wildfire risk is already so high,\u201d Katie Biggers, executive director of the Tahoe City Downtown Association, said in a press release<\/a> earlier this year announcing the decision.<\/p>\n

The entirety of Placer County, where the North Lake Tahoe drone show will take place, is dealing with severe drought conditions \u2014 with a third of the county facing \u201cextreme drought,\u201d according to the US drought monitor<\/a>. <\/p>\n
