The Moondance Foundation is always looking for ways to improve the facilities and experiences at the Moondance. You can support our work by donating HERE. Additionally, Parks has numerous volunteer opportunities where individuals or groups can assist with things like landscaping, painting, or working at an event. More information about volunteering for events like those at Moondance can be found HERE.

At Moondance Amphitheater, our priority is ensuring the safety of all attendees during any event. According to the official Parks policy, in the event of thunder, we will delay events for 30 minutes from when the thunder is heard. For lightning, the delay extends to 1 hour from the time it is detected. These delays are applied to each individual occurrence of thunder or lightning to ensure a safe environment. Decisions about canceling events due to weather are determined on a case-by-case basis. For official Parks events, city officials will make the decision as promptly as possible and will post updates on their website (www.lexingtonky.gov/parks). In the case of private events, this responsibility falls to the individual organizations hosting the event. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Please stay tuned to our social media channels and website for the most current updates and announcements regarding event statuses during inclement weather.
