No tents, stakes, tape, bikes, skates, skateboards, glass bottles or pets will be allowed anywhere in the permitted event area. This runs north of Main to the River bounded by Clay Street and 8th Street. Patrons can bike or board to the event venue but will be asked either to carry their bike or skateboard while in the permitted area or check it at the bike valet due to safety concerns. Picnic baskets, plastic bottles, blankets and lawn chairs are welcome. (No food or drink is allowed in the Thunder Chow Wagon). All parcels will be subject to a police search.
Canopies or tents of any kind are not permitted within Waterfront Park. They can damage the underground irrigation system and will be taken down.

The air show begins at 2:30 p.m. The fireworks kick off at 9:30 p.m.
Park as far away from the event area as you can comfortably walk. This will make exiting traffic easier. Visit http://www.louisvilleky.gov/metropolice for the best place to park to exit in the direction you intend to go.
