Three Rivers Art Festival brings a NIGHTMARE ON COLUMBIA to Downtown Covington for the annual NIGHTMARE ON COLUMBIA STROLL, COSTUME CONTEST, AND CONCERT! This fun, festive event exists to draw people into Covington and promote awareness of local businesses.

The stroll will take place on Saturday, October 19th, from 5 -7:30, with a costume contest and concert starting at 8 p.m. at the Trailhead! (Beer and wine will be available for purchase.) Participating businesses will provide and serve 750 3-oz. samples of craft beer, a ghoulish cocktail, or a mocktail of their choice (all alcohol to be provided by Three River Art Festival, per ATC regulation) OR 750 3-oz. food samples. 

Each participating business must serve its food or beverage under a 10×10 tent outside— in the street per your designated location. Per ATC regulation, no participating business may serve alcohol on its private property. Columbia Street will be closed to traffic, so companies that do not have a storefront in the downtown area can participate by setting up a tent there. The event will include live music at various locations around Downtown Covington, Halloween-themed activities, and a “Best Mocktail and Costume” competition. 

You can host a stroll stop for FREE. Stipends will also be provided to stroll stops as follows: 

• $200.00 provided for cocktail stops + liquor provided by CBA 
• $50.00 provided for beer stops + beer provided by CBA 
• $500.00 provided for food stops (CBA member restaurants or food trucks only)
