Welcome to Best of Lexington presented by The Front Porch
Welcome to the fourth annual Best of Lexington — your guide to the local legends, hidden gems, and hometown heroes that make this city shine.
Lexington is more than just rolling hills, horse farms, and bluegrass pride — it’s a vibrant, close-knit community full of passionate people and incredible places. From your go-to brunch spots and family-run shops to trusted service providers and community changemakers, this program celebrates the very best our area has to offer — all chosen by the people who know Lexington best: you.

That kind of turnout shows just how deeply Lexingtonians care about supporting and celebrating their favorites.
And none of this would have been possible without the generous support of our presenting sponsor, The Front Porch.
