This year’s Stars & Stripes Fest presented by the city of Covington and JACO Contracting is July 4. The STS Top 20 Festival and Event Awards have highlighted programs around the Southeast since 1985.
Travel industry experts select 20 events per month, and STS publicizes them throughout the United States. The complete list is published on two websites: Southeast Tourism Society and Travel Media Press Room.
“We’re so excited to receive this honor for Stars & Stripes Fest from the Southeast Tourism Society,” Lauren Singleton, director of Main Street Covington, said. “We always enjoy welcoming residents and visitors to Downtown Covington every year for this fun event.”
