Lexington's Cultural District
The Mass Cultural Council approved Lexington’s application for cultural district designation. “A cultural district encourages greater collaboration among cultural organizations, expands awareness of cultural assets, and leverages cultural and business resources to brand Lexington as a cultural destination,” said Lexington Town Manager Jim Malloy. “As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the historic Battle of Lexington in 2025, this designation will help bolster the cultural and economic development of the Town.”
Lexington community leaders, including our chair Steve Poltorzycki, WANTED this designation to encourage greater collaboration among cultural organizations, expand the general knowledge of the Town’s cultural assets, and utilize reative and business resources to stamp Lexington as a cultural destination. The Lexington Cultural District will help foster arts and cultural initiatives and bring economic benefits to our institutions and local businesses.
The boundaries of the Lexington Cultural District encompass Mass Ave with its historical sites, restaurants, shops, and public spaces. From Hastings Park to Pleasant Street, it spans just over three miles.
This designation will only enhance our vibrant local economy,” said Jill Hai, Select Board Chair, Town of Lexington. “It signifies a commitment from the Town to nurture our community’s present and future arts and cultural initiatives and brings positive economic benefit to our cultural institutions and local businesses.”
