Miami Beach is hosting a holiday drone show

Details: Miami Beach — which boasted both drones and fireworks on July 4 — plans to light up the South Beach sky with a holiday-themed drone show next Saturday, Dec. 17, at 7pm.

• The 10-minute display at Ocean Drive and 12th Street, which is free to the public, was originally planned for tonight but the city postponed it due to "technical difficulties," a spokesperson said.

The intrigue: The city isn't paying for the show. The vendor, Sky Elements, is using it as a rehearsal for another holiday drone show it's doing somewhere else, Lissette Arrogante, the city's director of tourism and culture, told Axios in an email.

What they're saying: Arrogante said drone shows offer audiences unique, state-of-the-art entertainment.

• But the city doesn't have plans to replace fireworks with drone shows at other holiday celebrations, Arrogante said.

Pro tip: Get there early if you don't want to miss the show. The city says it starts "promptly" at 7pm.
