People ringing in the New Year in downtown Lexington

Lexington, Ky. (WTVQ) — New Year’s Eve is finally here and it’s time to celebrate the beginning of 2024.

ABC 36 spoke with some people downtown about how they plan to ring in the new year and what their goals are for the new year.

“Up in Lexington with some good crafts beers and the Tyler Childers concert,” said Brandon, who came Madisonville, Ky.

One couple came all the way from Pennsylvania, round six hours, to celebrate for the new year in Lexington.

“Well tonight we’re going to the Tyler Childers concert, so we’re going to ring in the new year with our favorite artist,” said Amanda Gindlesperger.

“Yep. We are big fans,” said Mike, Amanda’s husband.

And like a lot of people, Brandon, Mike and Amanda have some goals for 2024.

“We’re going to start 2024 the same way we’re ending 2023 with more adventure, more travel and more together time,” said Amanda.

“Yep, that’s all we want,” said Mike.

“Everyday better than the last and let’s make next year better than the previous,” said Brandon.

Mike and Amanda want to wish everyone a “Happy new year!”
