Made for this moment

A Fairfield gathering, in light.
At sky scale.

Downtown Fairfield’s civic events and the agricultural character of nearby Suisun Valley offer a different brief from a large metropolitan show. We can shape a sequence around the people behind the occasion, with Travis Air Force Base and the exact property central to the feasibility review.

Starbound Labs designs the show and brings the performance together. Our Spectra drones, in-house firmware, and Starbound OS software connect the creative work with the fleet and team on the ground.

Whatever brings you together.

Your occasion sets the direction. We shape the creative around it.

Show imagery illustrates creative possibilities, rather than performances at specific Fairfield venues.

Rooted in Fairfield

A show with a sense of place.

Local inspiration. A story made for your audience.

A downtown story with community roots

The Tomato & Vine Festival reflects the connection between Fairfield’s downtown and its agricultural surroundings. For your own gathering, familiar colors or a local motif can lead into an event-specific message. Inspiration from that tradition does not imply an official festival commission.

A company milestone between city and valley

A business celebration might draw on the product, team, or growers behind the occasion. We develop the reveal around your brief and the venue’s workable view. Buildings, roads, neighboring properties, and equipment access are reviewed before the production scope is agreed.

A community park needs a complete plan

Allan Witt Community Park is a potential gathering setting, not an approved drone site. Park use, sports schedules, trees, and public access affect the available footprint. We assess a flight area separated from guests and coordinate the proposed event with the land manager.

A personal celebration toward Suisun Valley

A private vineyard or rural property can offer a meaningful setting for a wedding or anniversary. It still needs a specific review of terrain, vegetation, neighboring land, and access. A valley panorama is not evidence that the airspace or launch area is available.

A moment for the people on the team

A school or club celebration can build around a shared color and a final message. We discuss which graphics are cleared for use and how guests will read the formations. The audience layout and proposed show area matter more than a generic fleet-size promise.

Travis belongs in the first conversation

Fairfield is closely connected to Travis Air Force Base. Military installation restrictions and airspace requirements need their own review alongside land permission. Nearby civilian airports also matter for some properties; the exact address and full flight volume determine which requirements apply.

Review the selected facility, park calendar, trees, public access, neighboring uses, and a launch area separated from guests.

Fairfield, California

Downtown gatherings need an exact site plan, event and street permissions, guest access, and a separately feasible flight footprint.

The airspace is part of the plan

Airports, airspace
& FAA approvals.

The right starting point is your exact venue, launch location, show height, and date.

For each proposed show, we check current FAA maps, NOTAMs, temporary flight restrictions, and the complete flight area. Nearby airports and military facilities are part of that review, alongside other local aviation activity.

Travis Air Force Base

Fairfield, California · military installation

Official facility information

Review installation boundaries, military aviation, current notices, and applicable airspace restrictions. Base coordination, FAA authorization, and land permission address separate requirements.

Nut Tree Airport (VCB)

Vacaville, California · neighboring city

Official facility information

Include this civilian general aviation airport in relevant Solano County proposals. Current airspace and traffic matter even where a controlled-airspace authorization is not required.

Napa County Airport (APC)

Napa County, California · wider region northwest of Fairfield

Official facility information

Relevant for plans extending toward Napa and the county boundary. Review the actual flight volume against current airspace and notices.

FAA airspace authorization

Where the flight area requires controlled-airspace authorization, we identify the applicable FAA process. LAANC may be available for eligible operations; airspace authorization for operations using an operational waiver follows the FAA’s designated process through FAADroneZone. An airport phone call is not a substitute for the required FAA authorization.

FAA authorization guidance

Stadiums & event restrictions

Qualifying sporting events can trigger temporary flight restrictions affecting stadiums and surrounding areas. We review the applicable notices and show timing; venue permission or a routine airspace authorization alone does not remove these restrictions.

FAA stadium guidance

Show operations & ground permissions

The show plan also determines operational waiver requirements, including a multiple-aircraft waiver where one pilot operates multiple drones. New operational waiver applications use the FAA’s Aviation Safety Hub. Venue and landowner permission, crowd separation, and any local event permits are handled alongside the aviation review.

FAA waiver guidance

Fairfield community events

The Tomato & Vine Festival is local inspiration. Any proposed show requires its own site, permissions, operational, and schedule review.

Official planning guidance

California State Parks drone guidance

District rules, park management plans, commercial activity, and land-use permissions must be checked for the specific park. A park event reservation does not establish flight permission.

A few things you might be wondering

Planning a show
in Fairfield?

How does Travis Air Force Base affect a Fairfield proposal?

We review the proposed show area against current airspace, military restrictions, and notices. Any necessary base coordination and permissions are separate from FAA authorization and venue consent. No installation access or flight clearance is implied.

Can you plan a drone show at my Fairfield venue?

Start by sharing the address, event date, and any venue information you have. We review the proposed launch area, audience viewing position, access, surrounding airspace, and site conditions before confirming whether a show is feasible.

Do you work outside downtown Fairfield?

We can review event plans in Fairfield and surrounding communities, including Sacramento, Vacaville, Suisun City. Each property needs its own assessment of access, audience positions, airspace, and flight space.

Can the show include our logo, names, or music?

Yes. We design formations, colors, animation, and choreography around your story. Tell us which brand elements, personal details, and music matter to the event so we can discuss the creative direction.

How much does an event in Fairfield cost?

Pricing depends on the number of drones, creative scope, event location, travel, and production requirements. Share your plans and we’ll prepare a quote for your event.

How far ahead should we get in touch?

Contact us as soon as you have a date and a possible venue. Early planning gives us time to review the location, develop the show, and coordinate the event requirements. Availability depends on your date and production needs.

What happens if the weather changes?

Weather is part of the planning and show-day review. We discuss operating conditions and contingency arrangements with you before the event; the final decision to fly depends on conditions on the day.

Your place. Your people. Your story.
