French Drone Entertainment Leader Expands to Orlando, Partners with the City of Orlando for Holiday Show

Dronisos, a leader in innovative drone light shows, will premiere a holiday spectacular at Lake Eola Park on December 23.  

Orlando, FL – Dronisos, the innovative French drone entertainment company renowned for its spectacular light shows, expands to Orlando, establishing its first North American office.  

Founded in Bordeaux, France, in 2016, Dronisos swiftly ascended to prominence in the global drone light show industry. Known for orchestrating the largest drone show in Europe at Disneyland Paris, which featured an impressive fleet of 1,500 drones, the company has also illuminated iconic landmarks like the Colosseum in Rome and Mont-Saint-Michel in France. 

Dronisos holds a unique position as the sole drone show company specializing in providing entertainment to theme parks worldwide, excelling in both indoor and outdoor environments. Distinguished by its end-to-end ownership of its ecosystem, from constructing drones to developing software and control systems, the firm stands out as a trusted partner to major theme parks and event organizers, allowing for rapid innovation. 

Given Orlando’s status as the global hub of amusement parks, it was a natural choice for Dronisos’s U.S expansion. Laurent Perchais Dronisos CEO

Laurent, who relocated to Orlando in August 2023, emphasized the company’s dedication to flourishing in the U.S. market.  

Strategically situated at 9100 Conroy Windermere Rd, Windermere, FL, the office will serve as Dronisos’s U.S. regional headquarters and sales office, with plans for a Drone Show Academy at a local airfield currently underway. The newly established Orlando office is expected to generate new jobs.  

To mark this momentous occasion, Dronisos will collaborate with the City of Orlando’s Downtown Development Board for a dazzling drone show at Lake Eola Park on December 23, 2023, at 8 p.m. This world premiere event, designed for families, promises a heartwarming holiday journey with colorful LED-lit drones crafting themed designs in the night sky.    

“We are thrilled to welcome Dronisos to the City Beautiful,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.

With our upcoming downtown holiday drone show back by popular demand, our partnership with Dronisos showcases the fusion of technology and art, adding a touch of magic to our vibrant city and further solidifying Orlando as the MetaCenter and a global leader for innovation.
