The downtown Dallas sky on New Year's Eve will come alive with a breathtaking display featuring over 5,000 pyrotechnic special effects launched from Reunion Tower, a stunning 259 LED light display and nearly 300 drones, making it a truly one-of-a-kind event.

AC-CCSWB returns for its second year as the event's title sponsor. The company is one of the largest Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States. CCSWB produces, markets and distributes Coca-Cola brands throughout Texas and parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arkansas. The company employs over 8,500 associates who operate seven production plants and 37 distribution facilities, serving over 31 million consumers.

Pyrotecnico, one of the nation's leading fireworks companies, will be responsible for launching 15,000 pounds of fireworks from Reunion Tower. The drone light show, meticulously engineered and flown by DFW-based Sky Elements, will illuminate the night sky at heights of up to 400 feet, creating a mesmerizing array of visual elements and an immersive experience above the Dallas skyline.
