June is Lexington’s 250th birthday — and you’re invited to celebrate all month long.

It’s “Come Home Month” in the Bluegrass, and 250LEX is calling on locals to invite friends and family to experience 30 days of unforgettable events. Think: Pride, Railbird, Spirit in the Bluegrass, SoulFeast Week, and more — all on top of Lexington’s usual June charm.

To make it easy to rally the crew, VisitLEX is offering free planning tools, including:

  • Printable postcards
  • Photos to text your group chat
  • Curated itineraries
  • Host packages (available at the Visitors Center)
  • And a full event calendar to help you plan the ultimate visit

Whether they’re coming for a weekend or staying all month, there’s never been a better time to show off your city.

Lexington was just named Travel + Leisure’s No. 1 Best Place to Travel this June — so you won’t want to miss out.

C’mon and invite your loved ones.
