Since its origins in 1989 as a small neighborhood street fair, the Roots & Heritage Festival has grown to the status of a major, highly popular cultural event which literally attracts thousands of festival-goers from across the state and beyond. As the centerpiece of the Roots & Heritage Festival, the two-day street festival recaptures the powerful spirit of Lexington’s African American cultural history. Set along historic Elm Tree Lane, the three-day street festival kicks off with a high-stepping parade and continues throughout the afternoon and evening. With its fascinating African Marketplace, children’s programs, and two stages of high quality entertainment, the street festival presents the best in African American cultural expression.
