Lexington Goes Purple

This year, the Lexington Goes Purple team, in partnership with the Lexington Human Services Department, the Munroe Center for the Arts, and Cary Memorial Library will run a series of Longest Day events on Saturday, June 9 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM centered at the Lexington Depot.

And join us at the Depot:

9:30 am - 10:30 am: Dress your favorite pooch in purple and join the Purple Puppy Promenade at the Lexington Depot. In exchange for a donation of any amount, get an official Alzheimer's Association bandana. Register at the Sign Up Genius above.

10:00 am to noon: Guided Walk with Lexington Conservation (CLC) through Lincoln Park, one of Lexington’s most accessible open spaces. Centrally located across Worthen Road from the LHS playing fields, Lincoln Park includes a graded trail system, landscaped with native plant species as well as a boardwalk loop through wetlands with interpretive signage. The walk will leave from the Lexington Depot following side streets to reach the Park.
