Recurring groups and regular nights
Every week in Lexington
Group runs, storytimes, trivia and the other regular things around town that never show up on one calendar. Every line comes from the group's own page, and each one links to the schedule, the next few dates and a calendar you can subscribe to.
Times are Lexington time. Schedules change, so check the group's page before you head out. To browse by kind of group instead of by day, see groups and organizers.

Pick the kind of time you want. Each group's page says what a first visit is like, as far as the group itself tells us, and marks what it doesn't say.
