Lexington’s Best 2026 celebrated the county’s thriving professional community

The 2026 Lexington’s Best event welcomed over 200 Lexington County professionals and many of their loved ones to the Southern Oaks venue in Gilbert on Thursday, June 4.

Anna Cline Catering, Xpress Events & Catering, American Floral, Heart of Ice Sculptures, Splash Omnimedia, Total Wine & More and DJ Stingray made the event a success with food and drinks staff, flowers, the grand ice sculpture, logoed cups, drinks, music and sound, respectively.

Event partners seen on the photo banner that folks lined up to take pictures in front of with their awards included Clark Law Office, Michelin, Hands and Hearts Home Care, and Preferred Comfort Heating & Cooling.

The Lexington’s Best 2026 magazine will be inserted into this week's edition of the Chronicle, so you can see who the 336 winners from around Lexington County are. These winners were selected from 155,481 votes cast during our voting period earlier this year.

The Lexington’s Best event is one of our favorite times of the year, as it provides us with an opportunity to further connect with the many professionals who work hard each day to make Lexington County a great place to live.

Stay tuned for more photos from the event beyond what is in this print edition!
