Since Mayor Dana Williams’ and the current Town Council took office early last year, they have worked to revive several key festivals to THunderbolt in 2022. On hiatus since the 1980s, last year’s return of Blessing of the Fleet set out to honor the legacy of the community’s development and celebrate the town’s unique history. More than 3,000 people came out for this inaugural celebration, making it a resounding success. “For years, everyone has been talking about the return of the Blessing, and I wanted to do it: To bring our people together and celebrate our town’s unique history,” says Mayor Williams.


Thunderbolt will continue to honor the Town’s community and legacy, by providing events to strengthen, educate, and improve community development.
