Covington Arts


Big Head Todd & big guns (biceps)

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’...

Halloween, harvest & hockey

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...

It’s beginning to feel a lot like … fall

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.   Of you could learn how to fuse glass to make a sun-catcher, or mount a black scorpion for displa...

Big trucks, trees & cornhole

COVINGTON, Ky. - We tried to find a theme for a weekend that features a cornhole tournament ... a tree planting ... a scary movie in a cemetery ... a huge show-and-tell event for public works and public safety trucks ... roller derby ... a candidates' forum ... a Masquerade pub crawl ... and a stage reading of a local playwright's work.   But then we just gave up.   Suffice to say that t...

Bluegrass music & making mosaics

COVINGTON, Ky. - Saturday in particular presents some tough choices in #LovetheCov this weekend.   Not whether to stay home or go out (that's an easy one) but where to go?   The fantastic DevouGrass ... or the Farmer's Market ... or some arts classes for personal fulfillment ... or a poignant reading by the amazing Richard Taylor?   Later that evening, do you wat...

Street music to street hockey (and a zip line)

COVINGTON, Ky. - Come Monday, a lot of people are going to be really tired.   From street music to street hockey to underground street art, there’s something for everyone in LoveTheCov this weekend.   Giant Jenga. Yoga. Human Foosball. Fashion photography. An urban living tour. Heavy metal. A new beer. Sketching lessons.   There really is too much for a sane person to do. &nbs...

It’s Halloween time at Art in the Park

COVINGTON, KY - Pumpkins, bats and scary cats! Oh my! Covington Parks and Recreation and Baker Hunt Art and Cultural Center have teamed up to bring you Art in the Park. Follow along step by step in a live demonstration and create Halloween-inspired cartoon characters. Take it a step further and create a model sheet of different expressions, naming rights and your character’s (or charact...

Original art, Pumpkin ale & German brass

COVINGTON, Ky. - We sound like a broken record (side note: that image and saying need to be updated to reflect today’s world of modern technology), but we continue to be amazed at the sheer number of things to do each weekend in #LoveTheCov.   In fact, we’d have to hire a part-timer to work every Thursday putting together this list, were we determined to list every opportunity for...

WEEKEND: Lots of options to try something new

COVINGTON, Ky. - Sure, you knew about Oktoberfest and the Covington Farmers Market, but did you know that in Covington this weekend you could watch roller derby, attend a tattoo convention, and see a movie in a cemetery?   And then there’s a casting call, a book signing, pottery for beginners, yoga, an art exhibit opening, a music festival etc. etc.   Who knows what the skies will ...

Fireworks … and a whole lot more

COVINGTON, Ky. - The riverfront will explode with thundering booms and an aerial spectacle this weekend, with the annual Western & Southern/WEBN Fireworks and Riverfest.   As usual, the fireworks will fly shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday from barges on the Ohio River, and there are plenty of places in Covington from where to watch them.   However, you should be aware of safety and traffic...
