Thunder Over Louisville

SATURDAY, April 23

Thunder Over Louisville Prices and times vary Derby season couldn’t start without the gigantic spectacle that is Thunder. Tomorrow’s fireworks will start at 9:30 p.m.; the airshow will start at 3 p.m. The biggest party is, of course, hosted downtown and on the waterfront. If that’s not your thing, though, here are more than a dozen other Thunder parties that we’ve rounded up for you.

Record Store Day Locations vary No cover | Varies Record stores across the country will take part in a special event tomorrow to celebrate indie record store culture. Click here for a list of participating stores in Louisville.

Garden, Lawn, & Plant Swap Wyandotte Park Free | 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Garden experts and amateurs alike can trade any and all kinds of gardening supplies — and take home new ones — at this completely free event, where nothing will be bought or sold. (Unbe-leaf-able!) Going by the Swap’s list of items that have been exchanged at previous events, you might walk away with seed packets, wheelbarrows, bulbs, tools, or garden fencing, amongst other possibilities.

SUNDAY, April 24

Louisville Turners Presents: ‘Stranded’ Louisville Turners $12.50 adults, $7.50 children | 2 p.m. When two local teenagers wash up on a “tropical” island in the middle of the Ohio River, they meet the island’s native creatures, who perform all sorts of circus stunts: unicycling, fire eating, stilt walking, trampolining and more. The circus actually has multiple shows this weekend, but the Sunday show will be the last. Buy your tickets at this link or click here for a photo preview.

Night Club History of Louisville 1436 Bardstown Road (There may be a small charge if seating is low.)  |  2 p.m. Learn more about local music venues and some of the famous musicians who have graced them at this event for Louisville Historical League members and guests.
