This new presentation will take place on Friday, June 7, at approximately 9:45 p.m., during the conclusion of the final Fore!Fest musical act featuring Josh Melton. The 15-minute custom drone lights show will fill the sky with 300 foot tall by 500 foot wide choreographed Memorial Tournament, golf, and Dublin themed imagery to cap off the Tournament’s second round of competition and the first day of music, food and fun at Fore!Fest.
“The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday is excited to partner with Bridge Park and City of Dublin to bring the inaugural drone show to Fore!Fest on Friday evening,” said Tournament Executive Director Dan Sullivan. “The world-class performance will light up the sky for our fans and provide a perfect finish to a jam-packed day of golf and entertainment.”
The ideal viewing locations for the drone show include The Dublin Link bridge, Riverside Crossing Park, Bridge Park, and Historic Dublin east of the Columbus Metropolitan Library – Dublin Branch. Fans should face west with an unobstructed view for the best drone show audience viewing experience.
