Lakeside Live

I've said it at least a thousand times, if you're bored and can't find things to do in Lexington, you're not looking too far. This Lakeside Live is another prime example.From May until September 30th, you can come to the Mall at Lexington Green and experience an outdoor concert with rotating lineups each Friday and Saturday. Palmers has a little setup selling beer near the stage area. Or you can enjoy bites and drinks on the patio of Palmers, but you choose to get drinks at Palmers, you can't bring them off of their property/patio. Jax, used to be a burger pub is located close to the stage area and is now only open on Friday and Saturday. They now only serve JRenders BBQ, with a limited and simple menu and drinks. Unlike Palmers, you can actually purchase drinks there and take them out to the seating/stage area.The hours are 7-10pm. We got there about 30 minutes early and already the parking lot at the bottom of The Mall was already full. Not to worry though, you can park up top at the front entrance of The Mall. There's a shuttle that runs up and down the hill between the two parking areas. We just walk through Joseph Beth Bookstore, which isn't a bad walk at all. They have some tables and seating areas, but your best bet is to bring your own lawn chairs. Don't forget to bring your dancing shoes too!

Free music every Friday and Saturday, May through September. The seating was really nice next to the water with access to a couple of the restaurants. Very family friendly setting- kids and adults were all dancing before the night was over. Some people brought their own chairs and we will probably do the same next time. There is some seating but you would be safer to bring your own if you need to sit!

The Wooks brought it last night at Lakeside Live. This is a cool venue to enjoy free music on a summer evening. Seating is at a premium. Unless you arrive early, it might be advisable to take your own chair, Food and drink are available at Palmers. If you park on the front side of the mall, you can hitch a ride on a trolley to the back side by the lake where the concert takes place.
