April 17, 2010 was THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE, the beginning of the Kentucky Derby Festival which ended on May 1, 2010 with the running of the Kentucky Derby.

I took the following pictures from Ashland Park on the Indiana side of the Ohio River. The day began at about 3pm with an air show of both military and private planes doing flyby's and ended with the fireworks display. There were about 64,000 individual fireworks shot off. There was barges in the Ohio River both above and below the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge and also fireworks shot off from the bridge. Approximately 700,000 people attended this celebration.
