Festival

West Sixth and Main Street area
The 2009 event calendar for Mainstrasse Village has a new, whimsical addition. The First Annual Festival is an all-ages event with low- and no-cost activities and entertainment to charm children as well as the young-at-heart.
The festival celebrates a community art project that has captivated the imagination of Covington artists and residents this summer. "The Doors of Mainstrasse Village" have appeared almost magically around town " tiny, delightful doors that are home to elves, fairies, and the other sprites of imagination. The project became so popular that it has earned the corporate sponsorship of local business AE Window and Door Company.
The Festival hopes to attract families to visit the Village, hunt for the decorated doors, explore local merchants, enjoy free entertainment, and browse the art and craft booths.
Entertainment will include:
Pickled Brothers Juggling, Sword Swallower Comedian Team
Brian Gill and His Cool Critters
Dream Weavers Celtic Story Teller
Tallulah and her Dance Troupe
Mayan Ruins Musical Band
Pharaoh's Drumming Circle of Cincinnati
Greg Harper on his Famous Penny Whistle
Evening events are planned featuring the Fantasy Parade at 5:30 p.m. with unicycles, clowns, and stilt walkers, followed by the Razzamatazz Gala at Leapin Lizard, 8th & Main Streets. The Gala includes a benefit auction for the Baker Hunt Arts Center Scholarship Program.
