Promotions, giveaways and food and drink samples will be available at the August Highway location from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. The festivities will include a performance by Lexington High School’s marching band and a ribbon cutting featuring Lexington Mayor Steve MacDougall and Greater Lexington Chamber & Visitors Center president and CEO Otis Rawl.
