KSO Summer Series at Devou – One Date Left!

Since 1995, the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra has been holding concerts in the iconic Devou Park Bandshell. Bring your family, a blanket, and a picnic and enjoy excellent music in a picturesque venue.

Only one more concert date remains this summer, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. We suggest you arrive early, however, as lawn seating is first-come, first-serve. The restroom pavilion will be open and food trucks will be on hand.

Saturday, September 5: Battle of Broadway – Sondheim vs. Webber

Broadway vets Pamela Myers and Jessica Hendy deliver stand out songs from Stephen Sondheim’s and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musicals accompanied by the KSO. Songs from Company, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Follies, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, and more will be featured.

More information is available at the KSO's website, www.kyso.org.

Parks Survey

The City of Covington, along with Ludlow and Bromley are jointly hosting a website survey at RiverCityParks.org.

This site is a public resource and input tool for parks and recreation in the urban core of Kenton County. It will help gather information from the public as part of planning effort for future parks and park programming.

It also features an interactive map that shows the location and amenities available at each park located within the cities of Covington, Ludlow, and Bromley.

Please take the survey and make your opinion count!
