ST. LOUIS — Friday marks the grand finale of the two-day Celebrate Saint Louis Festival, which will feature a new high-tech drone show in partnership with Warner Brothers.
The gates will open at 2 p.m. on Friday afternoon with live music from local musicians, including a performance by the Steve Ewing Band. The festival continues into the evening with a salute to the troops after 6 p.m.
For many locals, Celebrate St. Louis not just an event but a tradition, which will feature a new high-tech twist.
A Superman-themed drone show will light up the sky, designed in partnership with Warner Brothers to celebrate the upcoming film from St. Louis-born director James Gunn.
Then, national headliner Gavin DeGraw takes the stage around 8 p.m., followed by the new drone show and topped off with the firework finale at 9:40 p.m.
The entire display can also be viewed live during FOX 2 News at 9 p.m. on Friday with cameras around the downtown St. Louis riverfront.
