Kentucky River Clean Sweep

June 15, 2024 from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Volunteers are invited to help clean up litter and trash from the 12 miles of the Kentucky River that touch Fayette County. It's a great opportunity to see the river up close and start the summer off with a clean environment. 

The event is sponsored by the City of Lexington and the Kentucky River Authority.
