The Dallas skyline is getting a high-tech holiday glow-up tonight as Chevrolet sends 1,000 drones into the air over Reunion Tower for its Chevy Holiday Magic tour. The show is free, family-friendly, and set for a neat school-night window from 6:00 p.m. to about 7:30 p.m., so you can bring the kids and still make bedtime.
According to D Magazine, the Reunion Tower stop includes a 1,000-unit synchronized drone display plus plenty happening on the ground: toasted s'mores, hot cocoa, face painting, and a Christmas tree lit up using power from a Chevy Silverado EV. The outlet also notes complimentary parking and an online RSVP to lock in your spot.
Event Details And How To Reserve A Spot
Chevrolet's official event listing has the Dallas show scheduled from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. today at the Arena H-lot next to Reunion Tower. Space is limited, so guests are asked to register in advance.
You can sign up via the Chevy Holiday Magic page, which includes venue FAQs, accessibility information, and the fine print. The registration site confirms complimentary parking nearby and lays out drop-off details for visitors heading to the Hyatt Regency.
What To Expect On The Ground
On top of the short aerial program full of bright, holiday-themed animations, organizers are planning a mini winter-festival scene on the lot: toasted s'mores, fresh-baked cookies, hot cocoa, and face painting for kids. The Visit Dallas listing also highlights the 1,000-drone display and the lineup of complimentary treats and activities for families and out-of-towners.
Where To Watch And Parking
The main viewing area is the Arena H-lot at 525 S Houston St, right by Reunion Tower, and organizers suggest arriving early since good sightlines can disappear fast once the crowd rolls in.
The event registration page lists Lot B4 near Reunion Tower as complimentary parking for the show and notes that drop-offs should use the Hyatt Regency entrance at 300 Reunion Blvd E. Walking directions and access notes are available on the event page, so it is worth a quick check before you head out.
Safety Note
Nighttime drone shows operate under FAA waivers and strict oversight, a point that has been under extra scrutiny since last winter's incident in Orlando, where multiple drones fell into a crowd and a child was seriously injured, prompting federal investigations. For permitted aerial displays like tonight's, organizers and Reunion Tower coordinate with local authorities and follow venue safety protocols. Once you are on site, the safest move is simple: follow posted signs and instructions from event staff, even if you are busy juggling cocoa and cookies.
