The America 250 – Colorado 150 Commission has launched a new statewide drone show series, and the Palisade Peach Festival has been selected as one of the featured stops.

This initiative commemorates both the 250th anniversary of American independence and the 150th anniversary of Colorado’s statehood with family-friendly celebrations across the state. Each show will feature hundreds of synchronized drones creating breathtaking animations, 10 minutes of statewide content and two minutes of custom content unique to Palisade.

The Palisade Peach Festival Drone Show will take place Aug. 21, 2026, at Riverbend Park, adding an unforgettable highlight to the annual celebration of Colorado’s world-famous peaches.

The drone show schedule and all statewide events can be found on the commission’s official events calendar. The drone shows are one of 12 signature initiatives from the America 250 – Colorado 150 Commission, designed to inspire connection, foster community pride and celebrate the vibrant cultures that define Colorado.
