Celebrate false spring in Lexington

While mother nature treats us to a little bit of sunshine + warmer vibes, we’ve rounded five fun ways to celebrate false spring in Lexington.

Sun, is that you? If you’re anything like us, you’ve spent the past few days basking in the glow of that bright shining ball of light in the sky.

With temperatures ranging from mid 50s to mid 60s this week + next, we figured we’d share five fun ways to celebrate false spring.

  • Take a walk or hike at a local park.
  • Get some fresh air with your fur baby.
  • While you might still need a jacket, get epic skyline views at the rooftop bar, Lost Palm.
  • Meet new friends with a local running group.
  • Get your steps in while checking out dozens of murals around town.

And for when spring decides to fully commit, start planning ahead on where your first outdoor meal will be or find something fun to do with our March Plan Ahead.
