For the 34th time, downtown Lexington will be transformed this weekend into a place where culture is highlighted. The Roots and Heritage Festival will once again feature a wide variety of vendors with wares, lots of music, and food. Festival Chair Kimberly Baird said it’s important the event remains an East End tradition.
“This is where we had the Lyric Theater, this is where we had predominantly black businesses and doctors and lawyers and pharmacists and everything like that. East End Neighborhood Association. So this is the relevant part of this community right here and we bring it here so everyone can remain why we have it here,” said Baird.
