Picnic with the Pops: “Dancing in the Streets: The Music of Motown”
The Meadow at Keeneland, 4201 Versailles Road
Picnic with the Pops has been a favorite summer event in Lexington for more than 30 years. Each year, the Lexington Philharmonic teams up with a special guest performer to present an evening on popular music in the idyllic meadow at Keeneland near Keene Barn. Attendees can purchase tables of eight (tables and chairs provided) or general admission seating (bring your own chairs/ blankets), and bring a picnic dinner to enjoy. (Table holders from previous years are allowed the first opportunity to renew their tables.) A table-decorating contest is an annual highlight of the event.
This year’s show will be “Dancing in the Streets: The Music of Motown,” a celebration of an iconic era of music featuring hits from artists like Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder and more. Tickets will go on sale in July.
