March 26th: Drone Show to Take Place over the Vltava River in Prague

On March 26th, starting at 7 pm, a stunning drone show will illuminate the cityโ€™s evening sky.

This free public event, organized by the creators of the new Czech film โ€œGump โ€“ Jsme dvojkaโ€ in collaboration with Prague city, marks a step towards sustainable and exciting entertainment for Pragueโ€™s residents and visitors.

Prague has already taken a stand against the negative impacts of traditional fireworks displays. In 2020, the city banned pyrotechnics in the city center, parks, and near sensitive areas like hospitals and animal shelters.

โ€œWe believe a drone show can be a fantastic alternative to fireworks,โ€ explains Adam Zรกbranskรฝ, Pragueโ€™s councillor for property, transparency, and legislation. โ€œIt eliminates unnecessary suffering for animals and reduces stress for seniors and children.โ€

Jiล™รญ Pospรญลกil, Deputy Mayor of Prague and advocate for animal welfare, echoes this sentiment. โ€œFireworks are a major source of stress not just for dogs, but for many wild animals too. Every year, our rescue centers see animals suffering from fireworks-related trauma. Additionally, countless dogs get lost during these displays.โ€

Pospรญลกil strongly supports a complete ban on over-the-counter fireworks, citing drone shows as a viable alternative that provides an equally captivating spectacle without harming animals.

This 20-minute drone show, accompanied by music, will paint the night sky with 50-meter-tall images of animals and other symbols, reaching a height of 70 meters above the Vltava River.

The event will be best viewed from Raลกรญn or Smรญchov embankments.
