Ali Center to host new Thunder Over Louisville event

For the first time since opening, the Ali Center to host entire day of activities

LOUISVILLE, KY (February 13, 2025) —The Muhammad Ali Center is now selling tickets for a special family-friendly day of activities during Thunder Over Louisville. The Ali Center is a premiere spot in Downtown Louisville to observe the air show, drone show and biggest fireworks show in the nation.

Doors will open at 12 noon on Saturday, April 12 to ticketed guests only, and will remain open until the conclusion of the fireworks show. Attendees will have access to all exhibits, clean indoor bathrooms, food and drink for sale and activations throughout the Center.

“This new event is part of our renewed commitment to be a Center for the City of Louisville,” said Ali Center President and CEO DeVone Holt. “I’m excited to open our doors to the larger community on what is one of Louisville’s biggest celebrations.”

The Ali Center’s 96,000 square feet of exhibit space offers multiple viewing areas for fireworks, including the Brown-Forman pavilion, the fifth floor panoramic windows and plaza. It’s previously been used as private rental space for companies, with the museum offering standard admission and closing early.

2025’s event will offer guests a first-of-its-kind experience, to watch the show alongside the life and legacy of the Greatest of All Time.

Tickets are $65 for adults and $50 for children, and can be purchased at alicenter.org/thunder
