Elgin’s End of Summer Bash in downtown Festival Park concluded Saturday night with a 10-minute lighted drone show that was a first for the city and likely a first for many in the audience.
Among the highlights of the End of Summer Bash Saturday night was when drones spelled out Elgin's name in lights over downtown Festival Park.
A giant Lite Brite display set up Saturday as one of the family-friendly activities at Elgin's End of Summer Bash in Festival Park drew both kids and adults. “We parked at the train station on National Street and watched them backwards: ‘thgin dooG niglE,’” said Alice Moring, of Elgin. “My favorite part was when they ascended in a sort of colorful swarm, like bees. Beautiful.”
The shape of a dog emerged in the night sky Saturday over Elgin's Festival Park as part of a programmer-controlled drone show that replaced the traditional fireworks this year at the End of Summer Bash.Elgin City Councilwoman Carol Rauschenberger, speaking before the show while she made buttons for children at a booth for Elgin food coop Shared Harvest, credited the city for finding something original for the gathering, although she, too, later wondered about the show’s timing.
“I actually thought there were going to be fireworks, but when I heard it was going to be a drone show, it piqued my interest,” Hamm said. “We’re here for a little bit of everything too,” said Vanessa Perez, of Carpentersville, who attended with her husband and two sons.
