It is a great time a nice air show and at night the most amazing fireworks display most people will ever see. I lived in Louisville for a few years and really enjoyed this event ever year. The only problem is on the Louisville side of the Ohio river the downtown area is really busy and can be a bear to move around. So I prefer the Jeffersonville side of the Ohio river you still have a great view of the firework and its not as busy. If you can get there go to Jimmies on the River for some good buys on drinks.
