Kayla's Corner - Week of July 4th: Stars & Stripes Fest

Kayla's Corner

Welcome back to the Corner, a place for details on food & fun, cool destinations & local happenings.


Hope everyone enjoyed this past weekend's musical performances & fun activities as much as I did!

If you missed out, don't worry, this week is packing a whole lot of fun for everyone!

Tomorrow, July the 4th, Jaco Contracting will be presenting the city of Covington's "Stars & Stripes" fest! This special event will be taking place on Covington's downtown square from 3PM to 10PM. Make sure to stop in all the shops! There will be lots of local food vendors, multiple groups & organizations with booths set up, and tons of activities for the kids.

The music is one of the biggest draws of this annual event, and this year's lineup looks amazing! 

The list of musical performers: 


Hannah Thomas
Newton County Community Band & Mass Community Choir
Drive Time
A1A: The Official and Original Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band

For those of you who missed Hannah this past weekend at the Irish Pub, you'll have an opportunity to see her with her full band. I hear they're really good!

And of course the biggest attraction is the fireworks! Rated as one of the top ones in the entire state of Georgia, they're supposed to go for exactly 19 minutes!

For any questions, check out the event's Facebook page. 

Alright, y'all, we'll see you next time.
