COVINGTON, Ky. - Of course there’s a holiday theme this weekend. It’s a week and a half before Christmas.
So there’s the ugly sweater pub crawls, the visits with Santa (or his neighborhood fill-in), cookie decorating parties, reading events for kids, public singing and of course special shopping.

COVINGTON, Ky. - In a city with a lot of unique bars and restaurants, it’s no surprise that the 85th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition is going to be celebrated.
How you celebrate it is up to you: This weekend in #LoveTheCov, you can drink a little (at a lot of places), or you can go listen to a jazz tribute or watch a dance troupe.

COVINGTON, Ky. - We can read your mind, right now.
You're thinking, "oh no, annoying relatives are coming to town, how in the world are we going to entertain them?"
Either that, or "Christmas is coming, I hate shopping, and I wish there was an easy way to find unique things for those hard-to-please people on my list."

COVINGTON, Ky. - There’s no obvious theme for events this weekend in #LoveTheCov, so we’re not going to attempt any rhetorical gymnastics or semantic contortions in an attempt to be clever.
Suffice to say there’s a wide array of fun things to do, from the annual return of a much-loved holiday train display (and a little White House Christmas history) to a new beer honoring...
COVINGTON, Ky. - This weekend, the list of things to do in #LoveTheCov is brought to you by the letter “B.”
(OK, so we ripped off Sesame Street to find a common theme this week. It works.)
There’s Big Head Todd & the Monsters at the Madison Theater. Bodybuilding and big guns (aka big biceps) at the Convention Center. There’s Braxton’s Breeders’...
COVINGTON, Ky. - If you’re not in full autumn celebration mode, you will be come Monday.
From Halloween parties (seemingly everywhere) to harvest festivals, #LoveTheCov is rocking October and early November traditions this weekend. Note this is the last weekend to shop the Covington Farmers Market in an outdoor setting in 2018 - next week it moves inside.
But if you don’t...
COVINGTON, Ky. - It's getting colder outside, obviously, so it's time in Covington to do some cool weather things.
Halloween parties, trail clearing, neighborhood cook-outs, painting pumpkins. Those things. And of course the weekly Covington Farmers Market is offering fall kinds of crops.
