Rhine fair in Düsseldorf: Spectacular drone show and fireworks inspire!
On Friday evening, July 18, 2025, the Rhine Fair in Düsseldorf provided the big spectacle: for the first time, visitors experienced an impressive drone show, which is said to be the largest in Germany with over 1,000 LED drones. The event attracted hundreds of thousands who gathered along the banks of the Old Town and on the Rhine steps so that they could not miss the unique light, sound and movement production. The main entrance was closed an hour and a half before the show began because the rush was so great. Visitors who still flocked to the Apollo meadow or the casemates could look forward to massive fireworks that accompanied the drone show.
The spectacular drone show by the Bremen company AO Multimedia & Drones was organized was a homage to Düsseldorf. The CEO and founder Marco Niedermeier emphasized that they were setting new standards in entertainment with their innovative productions. The company, which is also based in Dubai, has already made a name for itself with major events such as the Super Bowl and the Dubai World Cup 2025, where they realized a show with 6,000 drones.
Technical highlights and safety aspects
The drone show included sophisticated animations in 2D and 3D formations. Thanks to its unique technology, the event could be seen not only as an artistic experience, but also as a security measure. Drones are playing an increasingly important role at large events, being used to monitor the crowd and provide quick information to medical teams in the event of an emergency. Sentry CS points out that proper safety protocols and clear communication between drone operators and security personnel are critical to the successful use of drones in such large gatherings of people.
The largest drone show in Germany was part of this year's Rhine Fair, which opened two days earlier, and numerous attractions awaited visitors. With a combination of traditional fireworks and the creative light play of the drones, the Rheinkirmes proved that it is not only a popular folk festival, but also a center for modern, creative events.
For many, the evening was remembered as an unforgettable experience and the question remains as to how such technical innovations will shape the landscape of festivals and public events in the future.
