Richmond Flying Squirrels schedule first drone show at CarMax Park for 804 Day
The Richmond Flying Squirrels will hold the organization’s first-ever drone show at CarMax Park on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, as part of the club’s 804 Day programming.
The announcement adds a new presentation element to the Flying Squirrels’ 804 Day event in Richmond. The team’s official news archive identifies the show as a franchise first.
A franchise first at CarMax Park
The Flying Squirrels’ announcement places the event at CarMax Park in Richmond and sets it for Aug. 4, which falls on a Tuesday in 2026. The club identified the drone show as part of 804 Day, linking the event to the annual date associated with the Richmond area’s 804 telephone-area-code identity.
The available announcement supports a narrower distinction: this will be the Flying Squirrels organization’s first-ever drone show. It does not establish that the event will be the first drone show ever held at CarMax Park.
The official Flying Squirrels news page reported the planned show, while Axios Richmond included 804 Day programming in its local events coverage published July 30. Together, the reports place the Aug. 4 ballpark event within Richmond’s current 804 Day calendar.
What has and has not been announced
The team has confirmed the date, location and connection to 804 Day. The source material does not identify a game opponent or provide a game start time, so it is not possible to determine from the available announcements whether the drone show will follow a specific matchup or how it will fit into the evening’s schedule.
Details about the drone presentation itself also have not been specified in the approved reporting. The available material does not list the show’s duration, the number of drones involved, a viewing plan or any weather-contingency information.
Ticket availability and pricing were not included in the announcement reviewed for this report. Nor did the available sources provide an expected attendance figure, a cost estimate or information about event funding.
Next confirmed date
Aug. 4 is the next confirmed date for the event. The Flying Squirrels have announced that CarMax Park will host the organization’s first drone show that day during 804 Day, but additional game and fan-information details were not included in the available source packet.
