Covington, Ky. – If you’re all about the fun, there’s no need to head out of town this weekend for a destination that’s more in alignment with the path of optimum totality for Monday’s total solar eclipse.

"You’ll be holding conversational court at next month’s Derby parties after you delve into the lives of Derby legends that hail from Northern Kentucky (right here in The Cov, even)." - Opening of Race to Fame: Hometown Kentucky Derby Legends

Saturday’s Opening of Race to Fame: Hometown Kentucky Derby Legends at Behringer-Crawford Museum will showcase silks, saddles, helmets, and other accoutrements from esteemed jockeys such as Kentucky Derby winners Eddie Arcaro and Mack Garner. The exhibit will also feature photographs and autographed items from legendary horseman and Triple Crown winner Steve Cauthen.

"What’s really cool are the stories you’ll hear about the horse owners, breeders, and trainers from our area, highlighting the pivotal roles they played in shaping horseracing." - Opening of Race to Fame: Hometown Kentucky Derby Legends

"Keep Covington Beautiful wants you to join them in beautifying Goebel Park and helping local pollinators on Saturday at its Goebel Park Pollinator Garden maintenance event." - Keep Covington Beautiful

"Local artist Bob Bartolt paints on canvas in what has been described as 'a very unusual fashion.'" - Keep Covington Beautiful

"Sunday is the day for treasure hunters. For those who seek out the unique … the timeless … the quirky wardrobe staples from the era of long ago that you know you were meant to be born in but weren’t." - Julie’s Inspiration Consignment Shoppe

"Look, anybody can plunk down a marker (or apply a fancy marker dauber) when “B-11” or “N-37” is called. But it takes a keener ear – and a bit more appreciation of the vast array of musical tunes in the world -- to fill out a bingo card while following the rules at Frosthaus’ Music Bingo on Sunday." - Frosthaus

This weekend in Covington, there are various events to look forward to, such as the Derby legends exhibit, pollinator garden maintenance, vintage trunk show, and music bingo. The city offers a mix of cultural, recreational, and entertaining activities for residents and visitors alike.
