“With technology, and people using drones for everything why not make it a cool show,” said Noah Monroe.
The show’s considered an eco-friendly alternative, celebrating our nation’s independence. For some, that has a close meaning.
“Both of our dad’s served in the military, so they both fought for our freedoms, so it means a lot to us,” said Torres.
On top of celebrating the 4th, the city of Cocoa Beach is also celebrating its centennial.
