WHAT IS THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE???
What started as a better-than-average fireworks display has become the pinnacle of pyrotechnics. It is the nation's largest annual fireworks event. It also is one of the top five air shows in the country. Thunder Over Louisville has made a lot of people happy, garnered international attention, entertained millions and given Greater Louisvillians something else to brag about. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of civic-minded companies like Caesars Indiana, Ford, UPS and Yum! Brands - Thunder continues to be THE special event that brings the community together like no other celebration.
Here's how it all got started...
Those are the opening words of an article on the history of Thunder Over Louisville, and below is a link to that web site:

We went yesterday, and boy was it cold! It stayed in the 40's while the sun was out, but the wind chill made it more like 20-something. This was such a shock to our systems because our temperatures had been in the 80's all week until Friday when they took a big dip. Thomas and the kids went for the whole thing, beginning with the air show. I knew I couldn't handle sitting out there all afternoon, so I went just right before the fireworks. It was good, as usual, but I enjoyed the time with Thomas and the kids and some of our friends most of all.
