Stay Local This Holiday Season; Holiday Lighting Nov. 27 and Taste of Lexington Dec. 1-4

Holiday Lighting on LexMedia

Thanks to the hard work of local businesses, volunteers, and LexMedia, a virtual holiday event will premiere on LexMedia:

November 27 at 7:00PM

This year, in lieu of hosting an outdoor gathering to welcome Santa, organizers of this event have collaborated with LexMedia, who will broadcast from the North Pole! The show will bring lots of holiday fun into your homes, including Santa reading a holiday classic, virtual singing, dancing and great local shopping items that will bring joy to everyone in the family.

The Holiday Show will premiere on Friday, November 27 @ 7PM on LexMedia LPTV (Channels RCN 3, Verizon 35, Comcast 8 in HD on RCN 613) and be available On Demand throughout the holiday season.

Taste of Lexington, December 1-4

Local businesses have been hit hard by the impacts of COVID-19. We can support the businesses we love in Lexington by shopping local this holiday season. The Taste of Lexington event, this December 1-4, is a great way to show support by dining or shopping local.

To keep crowds small during the pandemic, the event is spread over four days, rather than the typical one-day event.

According to the Small Business Administration, when you shop locally, 70% of your spending stays in the local economy, whereas only 30% remains when shopping non-locally. This means if you spend $100, your community keeps $70.
