Each summer, Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate opens its 17-acre historic grounds for a beautiful and fun summer evening. The Annual Lawn Party brings together hundreds of guests for an elegant evening of gourmet local cuisine, a silent auction, music, and celebration — all set against the backdrop of one of Kentucky's most iconic landmarks.
Now in its 29th year, the Lawn Party is Ashland's premier fundraising event, with proceeds supporting historic preservation, educational programming, and cultural experiences that keep this remarkable estate alive and accessible to the community.
