Illuminating Lexington!
January 11-29, 2025
We invite you to enjoy 2 weeks of illuminations along our Cultural District from East Lexington through to Worthen Rd., bookended by Chinese Lunar New Year & Lantern Festival celebrations.
Join us to bring light during the deep, dark time of winter & to celebrate our best and brightest 250th anniversary spirit! Below you can find images of the buildings on the illumination tour, highlights from the kick-off party, and DIY instructions for making your own lantern.
