Thunder Over Holmes County returns to downtown Millersburg June 27
Families will fill Historic Downtown Millersburg on June 27 for inflatables, touch-a-truck fun and a fireworks finale usually set off around 9:45 p.m.
Thunder Over Holmes County will bring Holmes County’s Independence Day celebration back to Historic Downtown Millersburg on Saturday, June 27, with a daytime family lineup that ends in the village’s annual fireworks show around 9:45 p.m.
The downtown listing says the celebration will include inflatables, a touch-a-truck area, kids’ games and other activities designed to keep families in the village for much of the day and into the evening. Village calendars have described the event as an all-day outing, with one listing giving hours of 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and another saying activities start at 3 p.m. and continue until fireworks at dark. The Village of Millersburg is also promoting the event as a chance to eat at downtown restaurants, buy from unique stores and spend time with food trucks and children’s activities in the heart of the village.
That matters for Millersburg businesses as much as it does for families looking for a holiday tradition. Historic Downtown Millersburg lists Thunder Over Holmes County among its annual signature events, alongside Girls Night Out, Hop Around Millersburg, the Holmes County Art Festival and the Chocolate Walk, showing how the village is using a steady calendar of events to keep traffic coming downtown through the summer instead of relying on one big weekend.
The sponsors named on recent listings include the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce, Park National Bank, Pomerene Hospital, The Killbuck Savings Bank, Millersburg Eagles and Commercial & Savings Bank. Their backing helps make the event feel like a countywide gathering rather than a single-organization program, and that broad support has helped Thunder Over Holmes County remain one of Millersburg’s most familiar summer traditions.
The event has also served as a platform for larger community occasions. In 2024, Thunder Over Holmes County was paired with the Holmes County Bicentennial Celebration, with parade activities set for noon and fireworks beginning at dark. This year’s return on June 27 keeps that same formula in place: a family-centered downtown afternoon, then a fireworks finish that can be seen from miles around.
