The Lexington Gathering is a three-day festival that brings Kentucky's rich musical and dance traditions to Downtown Lexington. We welcome hundreds of visitors from across the country for a weekend featuring “old masters” of Kentucky mountain music, square dance callers from throughout the state, performances by accomplished and emerging artists, presentations, jam sessions, workshops, readings, vendors and more. Kentucky’s rural diaspora is a lineage largely responsible for the Commonwealth's unique and diverse cultural inheritances. Because these Kentuckians migrated to nearby urban centers for work, trade and education, Lexington is an epicenter for exploring the boundaries of these arts and enjoying the melting pot revival and longevity of Kentucky’s living traditions.
