The band Son del Caribe performed at Behringer-Crawford Museum’s “Latino Picnic” in 2019. Museum engaging Covington’s increasingly diverse community COVINGTON, Ky. – A little over two years after hosting a well-attended Latino Picnic, Behringer-Crawford Museum is organizing another event to build connections with Covington’s burgeoning Hispanic community. ...

COVINGTON, Ky. – We’re releasing this weekend’s narrative events calendar a day early because tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, and we don’t want you to miss out on all the festivities. You might want to call in sick right now (you have a bellyache, not Covid, right?) because the celebration starts bright and early – as in breakfast-time – and to put a new...

COVINGTON, Ky. – At first blush, those two topics might seem incongruent. One evokes coziness and comfort while the other spurs a watch-where-you-step shudder. But read on. Each plays a role in this weekend’s list of fun and entertainment in The Cov. All told, there is plenty to play, sip, stitch, see, and hear this weekend, including pickleball, tarot readings, art exhibits, concer...

COVINGTON, Ky. – Your weekend in The Cov can begin and end with some fascinating history lessons. The weekend’s calendar is book-ended with a bit of bourbon history tonight (with an interesting Covington connection) and burlesque history on Sunday. Each are equally fascinating and involve a good time to be had by all who participate. There’s plenty of fun things to do in be...

COVINGTON, Ky. – Did you know that the first recorded Mardi Gras street parade in New Orleans took place in 1837? Decades later, six men organized a rather clandestine Mistick Krewe of Comus and held a parade with the theme, “The Demon Actors in Milton’s Paradise Lost” and held a lavish ball. Demons on parade. Now that’s something to behold. Some theories maintain ...

COVINGTON, Ky. – The Super Bowl is over. Too soon for March Madness. Valentines’ Day came and went. The weather, in a word, is gloomy. The ground’s too frozen to till, and the water is too cold to paddle (for most of us). However, there’s no need to despair at home. Here in the The Cov, even a light weekend calendar has fun to be had, starting tonight: 'Black&#...

COVINGTON, Ky. – All of you happily in love couples better hope our neighbors to the north win the big game on Sunday. If not, the region’s collective depression, dejection and discouragement would make it a little difficult to celebrate with enthusiasm Monday, the day the candy-and-card industry has set aside for love and romance. (We’re confident, of course. The way we se...

COVINGTON, Ky. – The odds of you wanting to leave your house this weekend are slim. We get it. We’d just as soon stay put too. Make a fire, grab a book, drink hot chocolate, or warm up with bourbon. But … we have a job to do, and that job is to inform you of the always cool, wonderful, entertaining, tasty, and just plain overall worthwhile things to do in The Cov, come wee...

COVINGTON, Ky. – Why is January soooo long? And cold? And gray? And why does Mercury have to be retrograde now? Ugh. (Insert “woe is me” emoji here). Enough. Time to get out and enjoy the (last) weekend of this seemingly endless month (finally). If cookie and beer pairings can’t jolt us out of winter doldrums, then what on earth possibly can? Perhaps a classic stor...

COVINGTON, Ky. – The holiday tree is dropping needles, the mulled wine is gone, Omicron is exploding, the air is bitter, and a little bit of snow is falling (and not the snowman-building kind, just the pain-in-the-broken-wrist kind) … Fortunately, we have two things going for us: One, the Snow and Ice Team out at Public Works is about the best there is when it comes to keeping C...
