Breckenridge is getting a drone show to celebrate 150 years of Colorado statehood.
The traveling “Stories in the Sky” show comes to Breck on July 2, 2026, as one of more than 150 shows statewide and five featured stops, including Coors Field and Telluride Film Fest.
Football fans at the CU-Boulder game this past weekend got a sneak peek at the Breckenridge drone show, featuring hundreds of drones flying in formation. These “stories in the sky” are tailored to each host city, like snow-capped peaks in Breck and trains steaming across the plains in Fort Morgan.
The statehood celebration begins this holiday season, Nov. 21, with 40 consecutive nights of drones over downtown Denver.
“Nightly drone shows return for Mile High Holidays, and we are thrilled to partner with the (Colorado 150) commission to elevate this celebration for the state’s historic anniversary,” Richard Scharf, President & CEO at Visit Denver, said in a statement. “We’re proud to run the longest-running series in the state, welcoming locals and visitors alike to celebrate the season as part of this incredible statewide event.”
Colorado’s 150th anniversary coincides with “American 250,” celebrating 250 years as the United States.
