‼️SPECIAL GRATITUDE‼️
We would like to take a moment to recognize these amazing men and women!
They each have served MANY years on the Covington 4th of July Committee. You could find almost any of them throughout the week of the celebration near the sound tent or walking around smiling and greeting the public! They have provided SO much time, hard work and dedication to this celebration. They are each one of the reasons it has remained a great celebration each and every year!! Though they have chosen to retire from their positions on the committee, their volunteerism and love for this community and celebration will never be forgotten. We are forever grateful for everything they have taught us as committee members and the years they provided before us!
Thank you all so much for everything!🇺🇸♥️🤍

The Celebration would not possible without the donations from local businesses, families, and individuals. The Celebration Group (comprised of community members who love to volunteer their time and energy) work tirelessly throughout the year gaining donations to put on the festival. We do not receive tax dollars or other government funding to pay for the stage entertainment.

We do, however, receive a percentage of the profits from the Jessop Amusements carnival. Having to cancel the carnival on the 4th cut into Jessop Amusements' profits, and our reserve fund to put on next year's festival. The carnival could not stay for the 5th because of another scheduled carnival.

If you enjoy the Celebration, and would like to contribute to its success, please follow the link below to donate any amount - everything can make a difference! The Celebration would not be what it is without this community.

Who LOVED the 66th annual Covington 4th of July Celebration!? We had some rain and we had some HEAT, but what a wonderful way to celebrate our country's 250th birthday.
The Celebration would not possible without the donations from local businesses, families, and individuals. The Celebration Group (comprised of local individual's who love to volunteer their time and energy) work throughout the year gaining donations to put on the yearly festival. We do not receive tax dollars or other government funding to pay for the stage entertainment.
We do receive a percentage of the profits from the carnival from Jessop Amusements, so this year's rain really put a damper (pun intended) on our reserve fund for next year's Celebration.
If you enjoy the Celebration, and would like to contribute to its success, please follow the link below to donate any amount - everything can make a difference! We appreciate EVERYONE who makes the Celebration possible from the stage sponsors to the food vendors, from Jessop Amusements to the community member buying tickets, from the person with the nightly ribeye sandwich to the person just there to enjoy the music and everyone in between. The Celebration would not be what it is without this community.
