Things to do in Frankfort
Events and places in Frankfort, not Lexington. Every listing comes from an official calendar or the venue's own page, and says when we last checked it.
Frankfort is about 25 miles west-northwest of Lexington in a straight line, measured between the reference points the Census Bureau records inside each city. Roads between them run longer than that.
