Kentucky Derby Festival's marquee event, Thunder Over Louisville, returned to Waterfront Park on Saturday. And it did not disappoint.

Following two years of pandemic-disrupted events, 2022 was the first traditional Thunder since McHolland’s death. "I have been fascinated by the crowd today just because we're back in that live space after so long. Kentucky Derby Festival President Matt Gibson said it's "incredible" for Thunder to be back after three years. "You can feel it in your chest while it's going off." Teresa Smith drove five hours from southern Tennessee to take in the spectacle. In 2021, the massive fireworks showcase was split up at various locations around town to discourage crowds.
