- Fireworks: These aren’t just any old sparklers. We’re talking about a sky-filling, ear-splitting, jaw-dropping display that’s visible for miles. The cost of fireworks alone could probably buy a small island. Or, you know, a really, really nice yacht.
- Airshow: Planes, stunts, and pilots who are basically superheroes. This part of the show is like a Michael Bay movie, but with real people (and planes). The cost of fuel, maintenance, and pilot salaries alone could make your eyes water.
- Infrastructure: Security, crowd control, medical services – the list goes on. Keeping half a million people safe and entertained is no easy feat. And it definitely isn’t cheap.
- Marketing and Promotion: Getting the word out about the biggest party in Kentucky requires a marketing budget that could rival a blockbuster movie.
