"CT Maritime Heritage Festival" Drone Show Cruise

Guests of all ages are welcome on this excursion. Pack a cooler with your favorite beverages and snacks, grab your people and cruise!

Held during the CT Maritime Heritage Festival and part of the America’s Navy 250 Celebration, get right under the action of the 300-drone light show over the New London waterfront. This will be the first of its kind in Eastern CT.

The park's Drone Show Cruise will bring you for a tour down the Thames River and — weather and boat traffic permitting — out to the Ledge Lighthouse and back to secure a front row spot for the display.

This patriotic and family-friendly spectacle will be synchronized to music, lighting up the night sky with vibrant, choreographed displays honoring 250 years of the U.S. Navy’s service and legacy. Watch as drones form iconic naval symbols, American flags, and messages of unity and pride—an unforgettable tribute perfect for all ages.
