LEXINGTON, Ky. – This weekend offers a vibrant mix of community events and sporting excitement for residents and visitors alike.
The Kentucky Wildcats are set to face off against the Vanderbilt Commodores in a much-anticipated college football showdown at Kroger Field.

As the excitement of football unfolds, dog lovers can bring their pets to the annual Bark Bash, an event tailored for canine companions and their owners. Held on Sunday at noon at the Moondance Amphitheater, the Bark Bash supports the Lexington Humane Society with a variety of activities including live music, bingo, trivia, and vendor booths. Dog owners are encouraged to dress their pups in costume for a chance to win a $150 prize in the costume contest; entry costs $20. While admission to the event is free, donations are appreciated, with proceeds going directly to help animals awaiting adoption.
Simultaneously, the Bluegrass Autism Walk will take place on Sunday at 207 Legends Lane.
