Fresh air. Camaraderie. Physical activity. Free swag. Public service. And tangible results.   Why WOULDN’T you join hundreds and hundreds of v...

Home-brewed beer, 10K eggs & Snow Palace

COVINGTON, Ky. - Obviously, Sunday will be filled with Easter services and Easter brunches.   And both Friday and Saturday offer events that every Covington kid looks forward to every year: the City’s egg hunt at Devou, Totter’s Otterville’s Eggstravaganza, and the opening of the Snow Palace.   But if you’re looking for something else to do, there’s a little...

Book highlights Covington’s ‘weird, wonderful’

Title says 'Cincinnati,' but 16 locations are found here   COVINGTON, Ky. - When travel and lifestyle writer Kathy Witt was identifying places to feature in her 2018 book "Secret Cincinnati: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful and Obscure," she sifted through a region containing almost 1.6 million people.   Yet she kept returning to Covington.   Witt's fascination - and the city's reput...

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...

199C & SWING!

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...

March Madness, muscles & murder mysteries

COVINGTON, Ky. - (Channeling our best Sesame Street here) ... this weekend in Covington in mid-March is brought to you by the letter “M.”   It features...

Shamrocks, FreshLo & Sky Cubacub

COVINGTON, Ky. - Sunday is the feast day of that Irish bishop whose life and activities some 1,600 years ago are shrouded in myth, mystery, and scholastic controversy - but since he DID become a saint, and he HAS come to represent all things related to Ireland, there will be a whole lot of partying going on in #LoveTheCov this weekend in honor of St. Patrick ... especially given that recently appr...

Big Cuz, fried fish & Derby Does Drag

COVINGTON, Ky. - Thanksgiving has turkey and stuffing. Valentine’s Day its iconic candy hearts. New Year’s Day has its pork and sauerkraut (Covington’s German roots talking), and the 4th of July its deer burgers and goetta ’dogs (personal favorites).   And of course Easter has its Pappas eggs (you thought we were going to write “colored h...

Mardi Gras & more

COVINGTON, Ky. - Don’t genuflect now, but Ash Wednesday is next week. And with the coming days of fasting, ashes, sackcloth, denial, and ritual penance, most people feel obligated to squeeze in the last-second revelry known as Mardi Gras.   (Or at least that’s our assessment.)   Several Covington establishments can help you out in that regard, as well as some non-NOLA doings ...
