If you live in Lexington or are planning to go there this weekend, plan ahead. Between the Railbird Music Festival at the Red Mile, the NCAA Tournament Lexington Regional at Kentucky Proud Park, and several KHSAA state championships, Lexington will be absolutely packed and traffic will be a nightmare, especially around UK’s campus. Hotels downtown are sold out, and parking will be at a premium, especially if you’re going to Railbird, which drew an estimated 70,000 people at Keeneland in 2021.
Here’s the list of events happening around town. With the exception of the KHSAA State Baseball Tournament, all of them take place within a two-mile radius.
