Making the month of May even merrier since 2011.
In any given month, one can find plenty of things to do in Lexington, but historically certain pages of the calendar have been more attractive to tourists than others. Sandwiched between the Patriots’ Day hoopla in April and start of summer vacation in late June, May was one of those months that didn’t exactly scream, “Be here now.” Well, until the past few years anyway. Enter Revolutionary Revelry, an initiative driven by Dawn McKenna and the Tourism Committee to package and promote a month’s worth of events and activities that celebrate Lexington’s arts, culture and history.

A proposal to transform the Dana Home and an adjacent property into an upscale inn just outside Lexington Center has drawn criticism from neighbors and residents concerned about rezoning the residential property to allow for a more robust commercial use.
