The return of Goleta’s Fourth of July Drone Light Show at Dos Pueblos High School will be here before you know it and we need your help! While the City has raised a portion of the funds needed, we still need additional sponsors to make this second year better than the first! We are planning a fun event and hope to get all of our community partners in place by March 1, 2026. If your business or organization is interested in supporting the Drone Light Show, let us know! You can fill out an interest form and find different sponsorship tiers available at www.CityofGoleta.org/July4Sponsor. For questions, please email PIO@CityofGoleta.gov.

The event will take place the evening of July 4, 2026, at the Dos Pueblos High School football stadium located at 7266 Alameda Avenue. In addition to the Drone Light Show itself, there will be music, activities, entertainment, food trucks and a reserved seating section. Last year almost 6,000 people attended. Now that we know its popularity, we are looking to grow the event to accommodate the great turnout we experienced.
