Covington Holidays Begin!

November rings in the Holiday Season with fun and festivities for the whole family in Covington!

Start your holidays under the beautiful lights of downtown Covington. It’s an all-ages family affair to gather for the lighting of the city’s holiday tree. Enjoy live performances on the stage in front of the historic clock tower. Welcome Santa as he dedicates a moment away from the elves to join us for the ceremonial lighting of the square! A fireworks show will begin at dark. Note: This is a highly attended event and carpooling is encouraged.

If your business, organization or family would like to be part of a Covington holiday tradition, purchase a tree that will brighten the ambiance at Legion Field. People love to tour the creatively decorated holiday trees that our community can enjoy. There will be People's Choice Awards granted in the Business, Organization, and Family categories. The cost of the tree is $75 and includes a sign. Tree decorating may start on Wednesday, December 4 until Friday, December 6, 2024. Beginning December 7, be among the first to see the originally decorated Christmas trees and enjoy shopping at the Covington Mistletoe Market for artisan gifts. There will be food trucks, a chance to visit Santa, and skating at Covington on Ice. It’s free to tour the Lights at Legion.

The much-anticipated Ice Days are back! Skate on real ice in two-hour skating sessions anytime with no waiting. The rink and spectator area are covered, so you can skate rain or shine, warm or cold. Visit the Ice Days Snack Bar for nachos, hot dogs, hot chocolate, candies and more. You can even keep your skates on.

*Opening date may be delayed due to warm weather.

Venture out to the Handmade Holiday Fest at Lily and Sparrow for Small Business Saturday. This day encourages people to support small businesses and entrepreneurism in their communities. Local shops and restaurants are within walking distance of Covington’s Downtown Square. Shop local in Covington.

In the fall of 1864 when Sherman’s forces marched past this home en route to Savannah, the Usher family clustered on the balcony to watch the procession. The façade features six Doric columns and is capped by the only original “captain’s walk” existent on a local antebellum home. As fall colors fill the trees and grounds, enjoy a self-guided tour of Covington’s historic homes, churches and structures. Pick up a brochure at the Welcome Center or download – and enjoy Covington history!

You'll always find something to do in and around Covington. Make Covington your headquarters for enjoying all the shopping, dining, events, and outdoor recreation you can handle.
