Spend the Thanksgiving Long Weekend in Lexington

While you have family and friends home for Thanksgiving weekend, stop by Lexington where you can step away from the TV and make great memories. 

Head to Small Businesses for Small Business Saturday

Saturday, November 30, 2024, marks the annual Small Business Saturday, a day to celebrate and support small businesses. Lexington is home to a wide range of unique shops from yarn store Knit Tuck & Purl, Omar’s World of Comics, Michelson’s Shoe Store, and many others. This is the perfect chance to buy your gifts before the holiday rush. Plus, you’re shopping local, which means you’ll find handcrafted items that you won’t find anywhere else. 

Give Thanks By Revisiting American History

We have the brave militia men and women from the 1700s to thank for our freedom from England today. Spend a moment giving thanks to these important figures in American history by visiting Lexington’s historical sites and museums, as Lexington is the Birthplace of American Liberty. Plus, as the town gets ready for the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, you’ll discover many activities that relate to the founding of our country. Stop by the Visitors Center to learn more information about tours and monuments that highlight Lexington’s expansive American history.
