LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — The sound of jet engines and dazzling fireworks won’t be roaring over Louisville to ring in the 151st Kentucky Derby, officials announced on Saturday.
Thunder Over Louisville posted on Facebook that the famous event had been canceled for safety reasons.
“Unfortunately, Thunder is such a large-scale event and massive logistical undertaking involving partners at local, state and federal levels, that it’s not able to be postponed or rescheduled for another date,” event organizers explained.
Officials with Thunder Over Louisville said they are disappointed in having to cancel but knew that they needed to focus on the community and Kentuckians affected by flooding and severe storms.
“We still have a full schedule of Kentucky Derby Festival events planned leading up to the first Saturday in May and hope you’ll join us in the coming week,” event organizers wrote.
