A Baby Boom in the Sky
Believe it or not, Thunder Over Louisville wasn't always the massive, ear-splitting extravaganza it is today. It started life as a mere twinkle in the eye of a party planner back in 1988. They thought, "Hey, why not add some fireworks to the Kentucky Derby festivities? It'll be a blast!" (Pun intended, obviously.)

Fast forward a few years, and boom! (Again, pun intended) Thunder Over Louisville was born. It was a baby, really. Small, cute, and full of potential. But, like any good baby, it grew up fast. Today, it's a full-grown, noise-making, sky-filling behemoth that attracts hundreds of thousands of people every year.
