The Aspen Chamber Resort Association announced Tuesday afternoon that this year’s Fourth of July drone show has been canceled due to technical problems.
With fireworks again a no-go this week, the drone show, produced by the Great Lakes Drone Company, was expected to be a replacement. The show had also been planned for last summer, but was called off due to smoke from the Lake Christine Fire, which had only recently started to burn.
The rest of Thursday’s holiday festivities are still on as planned. There is the annual Boogie’s Buddy Race at 8 a.m., a carnival at Paepcke Park starting at 9:30, and the Old Fashioned parade through downtown starting at 11 a.m, among other activities.
The nightcap will be a community party at Wagner Park with DJ Naka G playing from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. A laser light display is still scheduled for 9:15 p.m.
