🚨💥 THUNDER IN JEFF 2026 💥🚨
This is not merely an event or a festival. This is THUNDER WEEKEND, the official commencement of Kentucky Derby season. It is one of the most significant days of the year in our region, with Jeffersonville at the forefront.
Location: 500 W Riverside Dr., Jeffersonville, IN
Date: Saturday, April 18, 2026
Time: 11AM – 10PM
The event features over 20 food trucks along the riverfront, the Thunder Air Show, and stunning riverfront views. The evening culminates in a spectacular fireworks display illuminating the Ohio River skyline.
The jets soar across the sky, the crowd stretches for blocks, and the energy builds throughout the day. As night falls, the sky erupts in a dazzling display.
This is not small-town energy; it is a regional tradition that marks the beginning of Derby season with a bang.
If you have experienced Thunder before, you already know what to expect. If not, 2026 is your year to experience it.
Jeffersonville is right across the river and right in the action. Be there.
