Anchored in local tradition
Liberty Vintage Marketplace, a cornerstone of the Depot District, has long hosted the farmers market and the popular Depot Beats Concert Series. Its efforts have helped reenergize downtown and pave the way for events like Depot Day. Just next door, 797 Distillery—open since late May—will offer visitors a chance to sample locally crafted moonshine, whiskey, and rum.
Organizers hope Depot Day becomes a tradition that highlights Covington’s culture, small-town charm, and strong community ties.
The Depot District is located at East Liberty Avenue and Union Street in Covington. The day-long event takes place from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.
