A grand celebration of music is set to take place throughout April, as the city of Lexington embarks on an unprecedented musical journey. Mayor Linda Gorton unveiled plans for the 250Lex Month of Music, a tribute to the rich tapestry of sound that has defined this vibrant community for centuries. This unique event aims to honor both the historical significance of Lexington's founding and the diverse array of artists who contribute to its thriving cultural scene.

From intimate local bars to expansive outdoor venues, the spirit of music will resonate across more than two dozen locations. A wide range of performers, including renowned names like Ben Lacy and Cory Cross, Stillhouse Junkies, Nappy Roots, the UK Lab Band, and Tee Dee Young, are scheduled to entertain audiences. According to 250Lex Co-Chair Kip Cornett, this initiative not only showcases Lexington's deep-rooted passion for melody but also invites everyone to partake in the festivities, ensuring there’s something for every taste in music. Whether one prefers orchestral symphonies or the beats of hip-hop, the calendar boasts daily offerings catering to all preferences.

The excitement doesn't end with performances alone. David Helmers, serving as 250Lex Ambassador, emphasizes the accessibility of these events, many of which are free for the public to enjoy. Through this comprehensive schedule, the organizers hope to inspire a renewed appreciation for live music while fostering community connections.
