Redcliff's Spectacular Drone Show at the 70th Toride Tone River Fireworks Festival
On August 9, 2025, the 70th Toride Tone River Fireworks Festival will be held in Ibaraki Prefecture, and Redcliff, a leading company in drone show planning and operation, is set to stage an extraordinary show featuring a record-breaking 600 drones. This marks the third consecutive year of collaboration with the festival, following the successful displays in the previous two years that received enthusiastic responses from the audience.
The festival itself is a beloved tradition, drawing countless attendees each year for its vibrant displays, and this year's show promises to take it to new heights. This unprecedented scale of performance is designed to captivate the audience, combining cutting-edge drone technology with local cultural motifs that celebrate the very essence of Toride City.
A Tribute to Local Identity Through Aerial Art
Since taking charge of the drone shows in 2023, Redcliff has been committed to integrating themes that reflect the local identity of Toride City into its performances. This year's drone show is particularly special, as it will incorporate symbols of the city's nature and culture, such as the owl and kingfisher, which represent the city's wildlife. These motifs will come alive in the night sky, showcasing a display that animates the essence of Toride.
Adding to the beauty, the azalea, known as the city's flower, will also illuminate the night, creating a visual spectacle that embodies the spirit of the region. Redcliff's innovative approach goes further, as they plan to challenge themselves by depicting a giant drone in the sky, an artistry not seen before in such events, making this engagement truly unique.

As the festival commemorates its 70th edition, Redcliff’s drone show is rapidly becoming an integral part of the event, enriching the experience of attendees with awe-inspiring visuals. The night sky will serve as a canvas for a blend of local identity and advanced technology, crafting a narrative that can only be experienced live.
