Sorry for the last notice for the events on Saturday, June 24, but it has been an insanely busy week! As busy as I was, I loved it! Hopefully, Tropical Storm Cindy will pass through, and we can enjoy our weekend with some wonderful weather!
Every Friday, I plan on sharing “Things to Do” in Lexington, Kentucky for the upcoming week. This is not a complete list of “Things to Do,” as there are many events constantly being added, it would be impossible to keep up with all of them.
For the week of June 24 to June 30, I’ve added over just a couple of events happening just in Lexington (not a complete list). If you click on the link, there will be more information, such as the address and whether or not, tickets are required.
Disclaimer: I’ll do my best to share the events that I know about. Tickets may be required to some events – I’ve indicated some but not all, and some may be sold out after this post goes live. Be sure to click on the link for more event details. This post will be written a week prior and likely won’t be updated after posting. However, if you want to see your event added, feel free to email me and I will update this post, so it is added to the list!
