Offsite Event

Our offsite event will take place on Thursday evening at The Big Barn and adjacent arena on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park. Following a catered dinner, Dr. Lew Sterrett will present a unique “Sermon on the Mount” experience you won’t want to miss.

Lexington Fun Facts

Although Lexington is the “Horse Capital of the World,” it also has some other incredible offerings too.

Lexington’s culinary scene is diverse, offering a range of dining experiences. Whether you are a foodie, eat for fuel, or just like to eat, there are a variety of options within walking distance of the Central Bank Center.

If you’re a walker or hiker, explore the vast 734-acre sanctuary, Raven Run Nature Sanctuary, or embark on the legendary Appalachian Trail. Not up for a big hike? Consider Frankfort Pike, McConnell Springs, or meander through the 100-acre Arboretum by the University of Kentucky.

If you want to take a morning stroll or stretch your legs later in the day, the Gratz Park Historic District is just a few blocks away from Central Bank Center. Featuring a city park and elegant residences, this beautiful, tranquil oasis is right in the heart of downtown Lexington.
