If you've attended Mayfest in the past, be prepared for some delightful changes this year.

The biggest change this year is the participation of exclusively Kentucky residents and a focus on Kentucky arts and culture. All the vendors and performers will be your neighbors so be sure to come out and support their work! The festival has a new layout which will include a dedicated music festival area, additional activities for children, hand-on activities for both children and adults, easier access to all of the wonderful arts and crafts booths and a new section dedicated to Young Emerging Artists.   The Carnegie Center is planning adult workshops activities for all ages and there will be additional activities being held concurrently by the Hunt-Morgan House and the Bradley Bullock House.  Be sure to check back for additional details as the event approaches!  We will be putting up an online directory to Mayfest with detailed listings of Vendors, entertainment and activities.  Save the date:  Saturday May 12, 10am - 6pm and Sunday May 13, 11am - 5pm at Gratz Park in Downtown Lexington.
