The City of Covington provides recreational opportunities and numerous special events that attract thousands of visitors annually. The Covington Three Rivers Art Festival is a major regional festival that attracts up to 30,000 visitors each November to view fine art and crafts displayed outdoors along six blocks of Columbia St. from the Landing to City Hall in downtown by 150 or more artists from across the nation. Covington is proud to boast that it is home to one of the state’s premier Farmers Markets. The Market is held each Wednesday and Saturday on the lawn of City Hall and has grown to annual gross sales of nearly $1,000,000. The Market not only offers a unique gathering and shopping place to residents and visitors, it has become a very successful business incubator and a strong factor in the preservation of small farms in our region. The Ozone Film Festival has joined the list of major special events and even Californians come to our film festival.  In 2003 Covington elected its first female mayor. The City has two female council members and the chief administrator, city planner, and city attorney are all women. We think John Wharton Collins would approve after benefiting from the perseverance and commitment of his own courageous mother.
