The Picnic with the Pops Commission
Started in 1980 by a group that included former Lexington Mayor Jim Amato, and Thomas Minter, who served as the chairman of the event until 2012, Picnic with the Pops is now run by a city-appointed commission of volunteers who plan the yearly outdoor live music event.
