Idle Hour Events

2026 Calendar

Saturday, March 7th 10am — Median Clean Up

Meet at the St. Ann median to help us tidy up last year’s growth so that spring bulbs can begin to brighten our neighborhood!

Wear sturdy shoes and dress to be outside. Please wear work gloves. If you have pruners, please bring them. We work from 10am until noon.

Saturday, March 28th 10 am — Idle Hour Park Stream Clean Up

Meet at the St. Ann entrance to Idle Hour Park to participate in our annual clean up of the creek. We will be removing litter to preserve this beautiful, natural resource.

Wear sturdy shoes (wear waterproof boots if you want to get into the creek!) and comfortable clothes. Gloves and trash bags will be provided. We work from 10am until noon.

Saturday, June 6th 2 - 5 pm — Idle Hour Neighborhood Picnic

Join us at the picnic shelters in Idle Hour Park to celebrate summer and good neighbors!

We will have food to share and games for kids to enjoy!

Saturday, September 12th 8 am - 3 pm — Idle Hour Neighborhood Yard Sale

To participate: set up anything you’d like to sell in your yard, along your driveway, or in your garage — the IHNA takes care of publicizing the sale to pickers from all over Lexington!

————————————————————

Our general meetings (open to all neighborhood residents) take place on the second Monday in February, May, and August, and on the first Monday of November at 6:30 at the Senior Center (195 Life Lane). Doors open at 6 pm. We provide refreshments and make time for socializing.

For every meeting we invite a public speaker who gives a 20-30 minute presentation on a subject of interest to the neighborhood. Our representative in city government, the Fifth District Council member, usually attends our meetings and can answer questions about current matters. (We do not welcome political discussion or campaigning).

We organize other neighborhood events as well, and they will be announced on this website, on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and via email to IHNA members. Every year we hold a summer picnic in Idle Hour Park, and a neighborhood yard sale in September.

Other events are in the planning stages. Please let us know what you would like to see happen in the neighborhood and what you would like to help organize.

And stay tuned.
