Fun in Lexington

Slide The City Coming To Lexington

By , Published Jan 22, 2015 - Tagged in Summertime FunThings To Do

The gigantic 1,000 foot slip-and-slide is said to be coming to the streets of Lexington! While dates and location are still TBD, Lexington has been added to the expected locations of Slide the City- a summer event you definitely won't want to miss.

 

What better way to spend a summer day than sliding down a 1,000 foot slip-and-slide?! If you're like me and can't quite picture how long that is, it's the size of THREE FOOTBALL FIELDS! Very exciting. If you haven’t heard about Slide The City, it's a family friendly water party event with live music, food, water fights, and of course, the mecca of slip-and-slides.

Bring your floatie, plus come well equipped for a huge water fight that is bound to ensue! With tickets, you get a water gun, but also come armed with water balloons, super soakers, or anything else that can help you defend yourself and get others soaking wet! You can attend the event for free, but need tickets to ride the slide.

Coming to Lexington- Dates TBD

Slide The City has added a number of new cities to their planned locations, and they've officially added Lexington to the list. While no date is set, the site says that it will be "Coming Soon". Let's hope it will be hitting up our streets this summer! In order to make sure you get the announcement of the dates at the earliest opportunity, I'd suggest signing up for their newsletter, they'll notify you as soon as registration opens! Here's the link: http://www.slidethecity.com/events/lexington/

We'll keep the article updated as we find out more information as well.

Exact location of where the slide would hit the asphalt has not been announced. Usually they will post to their Facebook page as they're getting ready for each city, and put the question out to the locals for what hill would be the best.
