Creative Community Entertainment, a non-profit based in Grand Haven, Michigan, is leading the charge for this new event. CCE is a non-profit that states that its mission is to

honor veterans and active military members while enriching the West Michigan community through impactful events.

And that's exactly what this drone show is doing. The two-night event, called Celebration of Service, will take place in downtown Grand Rapids the weekend before Veterans' Day (November 7-8). The show is to celebrate not only Veterans Day, but also the 250th birthday of the military.
