Patronal Festivals in Transition: Drones Instead of Rockets — Safety vs. Tradition

Answer

Why are some Mallorca towns replacing fireworks with drone shows at local festivals?

Many town halls in Mallorca are choosing drone shows because they are quieter and reduce the risk of fire, especially during hot and dry summers. They also cause less disturbance for residents, pets, and people who are sensitive to fireworks. The trade-off is that drone displays usually cost more and require more planning.
