On Discovery Day, Starry Night Band treated the audience to captivating original songs. A group dance performance titled "National Rhyme Spring Hua" mesmerized onlookers, and young singers aged 9 to 11 delivered enchanting renditions of their own compositions. All these performances were accessible to the people of Lexington, providing ample opportunities for photos and fostering a joyful ambiance along the bustling street.

Town departments, local businesses, and community organizations contributed to the event by setting up intriguing booths that captivated residents' attention. Beyond being a day of discovery, the event also offered a chance for people to connect with one another through a range of enjoyable activities thoughtfully organized by compassionate organizations. This year's Discovery Day proved to be yet another resounding success for the Town of Lexington, and we are optimistic that future editions will be equally prosperous and memorable.
