The future of the July 1 event was up in the air after the University of Waterloo - which had played host since 1984 - announced that the 2019 celebration would be the last. Annual costs were approaching $250,000 for the free one-day festival that attracted as many as 60,000 people. The city's 2020 event planned for the west side of Waterloo Park will be sig- nificantly smaller, with es- timated attendance in the 15,000 to 20,000 range, noted arts and culture manager Astero Kalogeropoulos. "Tentatively, what we're planning now is transition- ing to more of a community picnic model," she said. The late afternoon and eve- ning event will feature food trucks, live music from lo- cal bands, and a 15-minute drone light show instead of fireworks. The show will feature at least 100 drones, lit with LEDs and programmed to fly in sequence. "I think that going this route really highlights that technology focus that Waterloo is known for," Kalogeropou- los said. Many participants in an online survey indicated they'd be open to some- thing other than fireworks. The professional drone show has significantly few- er environmental and noise impacts, including on pets, wildlife and those with PTSD. The event's $100,000 price tag was approved at a committee meeting on Monday. It still needs final council approval, but its addition to the proposed 2020-2022 operating budget means staff can proceed with planning, Kalogero- poulos said. The university will pro- vide the use of parking lots along Seagram Drive, but staff hope many people will use Ion light rail to get there. The city will treat the 2020 event as a pilot. "We're looking forward to the opportunity," Kalo- geropoulos said. "We rec- ognize we've got big shoes to fill."
