It’s December, which means holiday-themed events are getting into full swing. And you might also need to do a little shopping (either starting or finishing up — who are we to judge?).
The Covington Night Bazaar is back for its fourth year in a row this Saturday, Dec. 1. Local stores, food and booze will be on hand to help you buy or fuel all your remaining gift-purchasing needs.
Find everything from handmade soap to art and refreshments from the likes of Second Sight Spirits, Lil’s Bagels and Roebling Point Books & Coffee. This is an outdoor event, so make sure to dress warm. Don’t miss out on hot buttered rum and “Holly Jolly” cocktails. In addition, look out for a special appearance from the Budweiser Clydesdale horses at the event from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
