Pigs in the City

Pigs in the City is a public art initiative coordinated by Uptown Lexington, Inc. Five new groups of 20 to 25 whimsically decorated fiberglass pigs have lined the streets of Historic Uptown Lexington since the project began in 2003.

The pigs, each with a different theme, are painted and decorated to portray the title and business that they represent. With 121 pigs created over the five years of the project, even today, visitors can see over 60 pigs in businesses throughout the Uptown Lexington Business District, Lexington and Davidson County .

Merchandise including t-shirts and commemorative posters from all five years are available at Uptown Lexington's office and various uptown merchants.

You can down load a copy of the Pigs in the City 5 Brochure to learn more about the project and Lexington!

Beginning in late May 2010, you can pick up a Hoofin Map to show you the locations of our humorous pigs. While you are walking, be sure to stop in to visit the many shops in Historic Uptown Lexington. With more than 50 unique retail shops, Uptown Lexington offers the largest selection in Davidson County.
