Street hockey, RNCs & H/T turns 80

COVINGTON, Ky. - Whether you’re into outdoor movies, pop-up art galleries, or rear naked chokes (the martial arts submission hold, guaranteed to make you go nighty-night if you don’t tap quick enough), this weekend in LoveTheCov has an event for you.   See, we do things a little different.

Duveneck, Vivaldi, Queer Soup & the Bridge

Horses & Flying Pigs

COVINGTON, Ky. - Ever since it was first settled, Northern Kentucky has seemingly suffered an identity crisis centered on a simple question: Are we part of Kentucky, or of Cincinnati?   This weekend, you’d think there would be no doubt. After all, it’s the first Saturday in May, y’all, and our eyes should be pointed at a starting gate 101 miles away.   There are plenty ...

Blue vs. Gray & the (Bridal) 5K

COVINGTON, Ky. - Now THIS is more like it.   It was a bit slow the last couple of weeks, but the weekend calendar in #LoveTheCov is back and big and bursting with energy and many darn-good reasons NOT to stay home.   There’s a 5K with a bridal theme, a new beer at Braxton Brewery, a Civil War celebration at BCM, a rather intellectual look at Duveneck’s murals, a lively Carneg...

COVINGTON, Ky. - With three shows by Tyler Childers at Madison Theater (including tonight) and the Opening Day in the Cov Street Party in the Roebling Point Business District (also going on tonight), mid-week in #LoveTheCov has been pretty festive.   But the fun’s not over.   This weekend, celebrate Opening Day in a radically different way with some of the most creative people in t...
