"500 drones did indeed fly Saturday night, sponsored by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and if you braved the crowds and made it down to the Embarcadero around 8 pm then you saw it with your own eyes."
"the Year of the Horse-themed drone show, which happened in lieu of fireworks but there were plenty of unofficial fireworks all over to ring in the Lunar New Year."
After initial technical difficulties prevented drone operations in 2025, a spectacular drone show took place Saturday evening over the San Francisco Embarcadero. The event featured 500 drones performing a Year of the Horse-themed display, sponsored by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The show occurred around 8 pm and served as an alternative to traditional fireworks for Lunar New Year festivities. Despite large crowds gathering at the Embarcadero, the performance successfully lit up the night sky. Unofficial fireworks also appeared throughout the city to mark the celebration of the new lunar year.
