How to celebrate National Donut Day in Lexington, Ky 2020?

BY KRISTINA ROSEN

Here at Ace, we take National Donut Day seriously…very seriously. In the late 90s, Ace embarked on The Quest for the Hole-y Grail which led to Ace Donut Wars every few summers.

Lexington typically commemorates Donut Day with long lines along the central Kentucky Donut Trail from Spalding’s on Winchester Road to the North Lime donut domination corridor.

This year the lines will look a little different—social distanced and six feet apart—but that doesn’t mean we won’t be celebrating the same.

National Donut Day falls on Friday, June 5, 2020. Where and how to celebrate National Donut Day 2020 in Lexington, KY?

Donuts and ice cream. Is there a better duo? Crank & Boom will have Donut Ice Cream Sandwiches available for curbside pick up at both locations on Friday, June 5.
