A Night to Remember: The Canadian Tulip Festival’s First Combined Fireworks and Drone Show
On Sunday, May 18, 2025, the Canadian Tulip Festival will light up the skies over Dow’s Lake with a spectacular, first-of-its-kind event: a combined Fireworks and Drone Show in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands.
This dazzling 10-minute experience will feature 200 synchronized drones alongside brilliant fireworks, creating a breathtaking tribute that blends cutting-edge technology with time-honored tradition. The show is part of the festival’s closing ceremonies and will pay homage to Canada’s historic role in liberating the Netherlands during World War II..
This innovative show reflects the festival’s commitment to modern, environmentally conscious programming—offering a quieter, more sustainable alternative to traditional fireworks, while still delivering a powerful visual celebration of history, freedom, and international friendship.
Arrive early to grab a good viewing spot and be part of this historic and moving tribute.
