Look for the Cuppy's Coffee mobile unit to be grinding out true Italian espresso and real fruit smoothies at the Thunder Over Louisville event this month. The annual event is one of the nation's largest with an expected crowd total nearing 50,000 people a day. This event is one of many that kicks off the Kentucky Derby festivities.
The Derby Festival lasts just two weeks, but its impact on the local community is felt year-round. The Derby Festival is a non-profit organization, but it provides world-class entertainment for its customers. Thunder Over Louisville is the region's largest annual event, but the Festival makes virtually no financial return on the show. However, Thunder greatly benefits a large number of other local non-profit organizations. For instance, Thunder is the No. 1 fund-raiser for the Louisville Science Center, the Kentucky Center for the Arts, Louisville Slugger Museum, Easter Seals, Actors Theatre of Louisville, the Louisville Ballet and the Belle of Louisville. In addition, a recent study found that Thunder produced an estimated impact of $31 million for the local economy on both sides of the Ohio River. For these and many other reasons, the Festival remains committed to producing such an important community asset.
If you are a visitor to this event, leave us a comment on your experiences at the event and especially your take on Cuppy's Coffee. Have fun and enjoy the event.
