Every year during mid-April an event called Thunder Over Louisville kicks off the beginning of the Kentucky Derby Festival. This event includes an air show, venders, many different activities, and fireworks.

Thunder Over Louisville is tomorrow. Many students are looking forward to that day, as this weekend approaches.

“Staying up all night after the fireworks is my favorite part,” said sophomore Hannah Knauer.

Others have a different opinion on their favorite part of the day.

“My favorite part is getting to see the airplanes fly over and do tricks in the afternoon with all of my friends,” said freshman Matthew Dunlap.

Senior Timon Stermer agreed that he also enjoys spending time with his friends.

“I look forward to Thunder every year because the people I spend the day with make it a fun experience.”

However, not everyone sees this event as a fun experience overall.

“The large crowds tend to put a damper on the evening,” said sophomore Heather Bouch.

She is not the only one that dislikes the exceeding amount of people. Knauer added to what Bouch said.

“That loud, mess of people is my least favorite part of the whole day.”

Thunder Over Louisville still offers a fun opportunity, if people can make the best of it.

“I have gone for the past five years and look forward to going again this year,” said Stermer.
