There were only a couple of arrows and some caution tape to direct us to where we were supposed to go. Once around the back side of the barn, I parked and got out. We were greeted by the owner and told to go inside to the ticket area. Once through the ticketing area, it all started. The door slammed shut behind us and we were on our own to traverse the slaughterhouse. Dim lighting, some well-timed actor performances, a couple of sweet props to distract you, a maze, and fog machine that kept you wondering what was in front of you made the adventure tons of fun. That's all I'm going to tell you. The rest you'll have to find out for yourself! I can see myself going back again this year with friends just to see some of their reactions. I think that'd be fun. I'm also excited to see what these guys have in store for us next year. Definitely go check it out!

Today was my second time visiting the Woodland Art Fair. It's become one of my favorite art shows,…read morein part due to their rules. Per their website, every piece must be original and made by the artist, who's present at the show. They don't allow MLM products or vendors selling soaps, lotions, or candles, which makes it feel more like an actual art fair. No shade to candlemakers. There's a great selection of food trucks and drinks, including beer, cider, wine, mead, and non-alcoholic options. I appreciated how the beverage vendors were spaced out throughout the event. It made getting a drink easy and convenient. It's a huge fair with hundreds of booths. I ate the mac & cheese bowl from a BBQ food truck. It was tasty but lukewarm. My companion had a corn dog and was disappointed with it so he helped out with my food. Dog are welcome at this fair, and there were so many, which - for me -made the experience even better. We found free parking about 4 blocks from the event, which is always a bonus. Lexington is doing art fairs right. Louisville could definitely take a few notes!!

There's a wide selection of food, and if you like tacos and pizza there's vendors upon vendors for you. We did get to try some pretty unique things, with Turkish coffee being at the top of this list. It was really neat seeing them warm it up in the hot sand. My husband said it was a really unique drink. We also got to try some pho, some Cajun food, barbecue, nachos, and more. The festival was well-run and well-organized. The app made it easy to track how many crave-bucks you had left. The parking situation was intuitive and ran smoothly, making it easy to get in and out. Great job to the organizers, I hope to come back next year!

Good local food, live music & August Saturdays in Lexington? I'm definitely a fan…read more I'd heard from friends that Crave is a super fun event and I'm glad it worked out with my schedule this year that I was finally able to go! Out at Masterson Station, parking is free, but it is $8 for admission which I thought was a little steep for this event. Granted there was live music and games for kids set up- I think even paying 4 or 5 dollars would seem more reasonable to me. We were given a map of the festival with our tickets which listed all the events for both days and showed the general areas (zone 1, zone 2, etc) in which the different food vendors were located. In order to get food from the festival you need to buy crave dollars which are dollar for dollar. The booth suggest that each adult would need about $30, but my boyfriend and I had more than enough food for $15 each. We did a lap around the fairgrounds first to survey our options & see what there was to avoid making any hasty decisions. I realize this sounds obvious but I really liked how you were able to sample a lot of different foods from a variety of places. Especially if you come with an eating-partner, you can get a lot of things and split them to really increase the items you're able to try. Loved this event and think it will continue to grow every year! One thing I'd like to see is more stations for water as it was pretty hot out- I only saw one ant it was when we were leaving. I would suggest doing what we did to avoid long lines and crowds- make it a lunch/dinner and go around 3:30/4- by the time we left at 7 it was getting crazy packed. All in all a very fun time!

A solid event with plenty of space for all attendees.read more

Every year it is a must to attend Scarefest…read more If you like or love scary movies or tv series, it will not disappoint. More or less it is a perfect mix of everything your heart loves about Halloween. From purchasing merchandise, such as contacts, to T-shirt's, sage, jewelry, movies, etc... Scarefest has it all. The celebrities are nice and down to earth. They will converse, high five, hug, and autograph. Custom costumes, art work, pieces for your home. They have it all. Friday night is a VIP party at Manchester. Saturday after close is a costume contest. Sunday is kids day where they get in free and have their own contest. A lot of heart and soul go into planning, and it shows. We adore Scarefest!!!

This is the second year we have been to Bulls Bands and Barrels at the Kentucky Horse Park…read more Traffic coming into the venue and leaving the venue is awful. There is one way in and one way out. It takes about 20 minutes to get from the front gate back to the arena. They have very limited selection of food/drinks for this event. The rodeo is very entertaining and we had a great time. The acoustics and sound for the concert portion is terrible. The music sounds muffled. I think this year was worse than last year. They definitely need to work on the sound for future concerts here.

They go to great lengths to provide a wide range of performances and options. Today, we saw The Lexington Theatre's production of Les Miserables and the local performers absolutely knocked it out of the park!

It was just as good as what I have seen at other venues! The acoustics are very good and the building has such a rich history! Don't miss this downtown Lexington gem!
