You don't have to go somewhere to get culture or to enrich your mind, try a book. The going somewhere with a crowd is just a social aspect, having others to share in the experience, but it isn't necessary. If that's your thing, fine. It just isn't necessary. I know people who moved from Lexington to Louisville because we have no culture, figure that out. More people doesn't always equal better.

That said, my wife enjoys ballet, so we go to performances when they come to town. Sometimes we travel, but it is usually to see friends that live in another city.
