Cocoa Beach’s Independence Day celebration this year is swapping fireworks for drones. The Drone Light Show Spectacular will take place Saturday, July 5 from 8:45 p.m. – 9:15 p.m.

Coinciding with Cocoa Beach's ongoing 100th birthday celebration, the 2025 Cocoa Beach Air Show featured U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team.

The Cocoa Beach Air Show kicks off this weekend, and Chris Dirato, the show's director of public relations, shares what attendees can expect at this year’s event.
