Three dates, all of them before January. Oktoberfest, the two Halloween Saturdays and New Year's Eve appear, and the spring and summer slots are all absent.
Is there no Lexington St. Patrick's crawl?
None is listed, which is a surprise. The spring and summer dates are all missing, so the Lexington year stops at New Year's Eve.
Which Lexington district hosts the crawls?
Downtown around Main and Short Street, where the bars concentrate tightly enough that a route works on foot without any transport between stops.
Does the Keeneland meet overlap?
The October meet runs through much of the month, which coincides with both Halloween dates and fills the city with a racing crowd.
Does the University of Kentucky matter?
Considerably. The campus sits south of downtown, and term time adds a substantial student presence to the Short Street bars.
Can I do a bourbon stop in Lexington?
If the route allows it. The city sits in the middle of bourbon country and the downtown bars stock accordingly, which shapes what an evening tastes like.
How mild is Lexington in December?
Cool, usually in the thirties and forties after dark. The Bluegrass stays milder than the Ohio valley to the north.
Which Lexington date runs longest?
New Year's Eve, at eight hours through to two in the morning. Oktoberfest and both Halloween dates all close by ten or eleven.
