BROWARD COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — If you were wondering why Saturday’s highly-publicized drone show — set to honor the nation’s veterans — was canceled, look no further than Mar-A-Lago.
President Trump’s presence in Palm Beach County led to airspace restrictions in the region. That led to the City of Pompano Beach being forced to cancel its annual drone show at the last minute. The show is a Veterans Day tradition.
The FAA issued a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) in the area. That bans drones from flying, even 500 highly visible drones set to honor those who served the country.
“We understand how disappointing this news is for the thousands of residents and visitors who were looking forward to this spectacular event,” said the City of Pompano Beach. “Unfortunately, federal aviation restrictions are beyond the City’s control, and compliance with these important security measures is mandatory. We sincerely appreciate the community’s understanding.”
The cancellation comes days after Donald Trump’s Republican Party suffered historic losses during the mid-term election and took place just days before a Republican member of Congress filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
