OSWEGO – Mayor Billy Barlow announced today a new event in the city of Oswego on Saturday, August 28, featuring a sixty-drone aerial light show to be performed over Wright’s Landing Marina, synced to fireworks and music, along with a “Movies in the Park” night at Breitbeck Park featuring Warner Brothers Pictures “SCOOB!” movie on a forty-foot outdoor movie screen.
Prior to the showing of SCOOB, beginning at 6:30 p.m., residents can hear live music, view a stunt bike show and watch fire dancers along with other activities.
“I am very excited to host another fun and very unique event in Oswego, featuring an aerial drone show over the marina following Movies in the Park at Breitbeck Park,” Barlow said. “Drone show popularity is growing rapidly and pairing a drone show with a movie in the park event will bring people to our waterfront and give Oswego families a new and special experience as we begin to close out the summer season.”
