Westside is lucky to host Covington’s most vibrant, authentic and culturally meaningful festival (with the best food!), thanks to Olla Cov, an anchor for the neighborhood and for the broader community. Come on out to Olla Taqueria Gutierrez, 302 W MLK for a crisp fall evening of music, dancing, and food to memorialize those who have passed on to the other side. Much more at the event page on facebook here; no admission fee…just bring your appetite and your family and friends.

More eloquent words from the event description… “Join us for a vibrant celebration of Día de los Muertos; a time-honored tradition that honors the lives of loved ones who have passed. This rich cultural festival, originating in Mexico and celebrated throughout Latin America, blends indigenous customs with Catholic influences to create a unique event. Far from a somber occasion, Día de los Muertos is a celebration of life, memory, and connection, where families gather to build altars, offer favorite foods of the departed, and share stories, reminding us that death is a part of the human experience.”
