With the arrival of July the fourth, the long-awaited Covington Bicentennial Celebration is here. Just a few of the activities at the free event in the Bogue Falaya Park include musical entertainment, historical character portrayals, opening of the Sesquicentennial Time Capsule, preparation of the Bicentennial Time Capsule, games, crafts, old time photo booth, food and refreshments!
Some of Covington’s best local restaurants will have food booths at the Bicentennial Celebration. Edna’s Thai Kitchen (1005 Collins Blvd.) will bring some Thai favorites, including the Pad Thai and Fried Rice. Winos and Tacos will be there with Joel’s Taco Grill to serve up a special “All American Taco”. Make sure to pick up food and drink discount coupons to enjoy at Winos and Tacos after the fireworks at the park!
The presenting sponsor of the Bicentennial Celebration is the St. Tammany Parish Hospital with NOLA Media/ Times-Picayune as the fireworks sponsor. There will be plenty happening to keep everyone busy with face painting, a caricature artist, and old fashioned games like sack races and jacks. Bring your picnic blanket and chairs and order some of the best food Covington has to offer. For more information, contact Covington Cultural Arts & Events by phone at:
