Tucson Ends Fireworks Era with Drones | Tucson News

Tucson is bidding farewell to its iconic Fourth of July fireworks at ‘A’ Mountain — the final blast set for this year — as the city prepares to launch a dazzling drone show next July. Since 1984, the fireworks have drawn thousands, but recurring wildfires sparked by sparks in dry Arizona terrain have made safety a top concern. While longtime operators mourn the end of an era, animal advocates cheer the switch, hoping quieter drones will reduce pet injuries and disappearances. This year’s last show will feature fire crews on standby, dousing the area to prevent flames. The move marks a bold evolution for Tucson’s Independence Day, balancing tradition with safety and wildlife protection — all while keeping the celebration alive in a new, tech-powered form.
