WHITE DAY DRONE SHOW SIGNAL by KOBE Night Canvas
日時・場所など詳細はこちら
For two nights only, hundreds of drones will paint a luminous art display across Kobe’s White Day sky. On Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14, 2026, the aerial art show “WHITE DAY DRONE SHOW SIGNAL by KOBE Night Canvas” will take place above Meriken Park.
The event runs simultaneously in Tokyo and Kobe, organized by Drone Show Japan with support from the City of Kobe.
15 Minutes Where Light and Music Meet
The show runs 19:00–19:15 (approximately 15 minutes) on both nights. Hundreds of drones move in synchronized formation above Meriken Park, painting art into the night sky.
The Kobe performance adds a special musical dimension. DJ/producer CODY CLUB provides a live set, merging with the drone light display for a fully immersive experience.
🎧 CODY CLUB’s live performance is exclusive to the Kobe show — not available at the Tokyo event. A unique experience you can only find in Kobe.
Drone Shows at Meriken Park
Last year’s “Kobe Meriken Christmas” event drew roughly 150,000 visitors over its run, with approximately 500 drones lighting up the night sky. Meriken Park is the perfect backdrop, with Kobe’s harbor nightscape as a stunning complement.
