Thunder Over Louisville opens the Kentucky Derby Festival events, climaxing with the greatest two minutes in sports – the Kentucky Derby.
Rated as one of the top 100 events in North America, the Derby Festival’s Opening Ceremonies is truly a sight to behold. And each year, more than 500,000 eager thrill-seekers do just that.
The day-long event kicks off the two exciting weeks of events that are part of the annual Kentucky Derby Festival. The Thunder Air Show dazzles the crowd with more than 100 planes, aerobatics teams, daring sky diving teams and breathtaking stunts.
When it gets dark, the Thunder rolls. The fireworks will feature the latest in pyrotechnic power from Zambelli Internationale, America’s “first family of fireworks”. Eight 400-foot barges assemble on both sides of the 2nd Street Bridge to form the stage from which the fireworks spectacular ignites.
The breathtaking and mind-numbing 28-minute show includes Thunder’s signature one-mile “waterfall” effect off the bridge, making the fireworks seem to rain down forever. And in the crowd’s memory of the show, it does!
The Fireworks
The Fireworks begin…
View of the river…
The fountain of fire…
Now in its 21st year, Thunder Over Louisville continues to deliver a pyrotechnics spectacular like no other. Created as the Opening Ceremonies of the Kentucky Derby Festival, it offers an explosive kick-off to two entire weeks of celebration in Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana. With an estimated average attendance of half a million people, it has become the largest annual event in its region.
The show continues to be the largest annual pyrotechnics display in North America, thanks to the artistry of Zambelli Internationale and the production of Visual Presentations. 2010’s Thunder has come and gone, but surpassed our expectations and we are all looking forward to 2011 Thunder Over Louisville, which is slated for April 18.
Other Events
But fireworks are not all there is to this exciting festival! There are many events scheduled, but the most famous, next to the fireworks, are the great steamboat race, the Pegasus Parade, the Kentucky Oaks or the run of the fillies for the Lillies and, of course, the grand finale, the Kentucky Derby!

I officially can’t hold out for this smart phone, just 2 days remaining and I simply hope I could get my hands on one,. I have been reading a lot about the Android two.2 update that can come in August, simply another reason to be psyched about this excellent phone. Motorola and Verizon say they will update the phone to Android 2.2 late summer. It will certainly be an over-the-air update. However out-of-the box on its July 15 launch it will probably have Android 2.1.
