We definitely don’t want you to turn blue, however we invite you to turn TO blue with these three events.

Feeling Blue

You won’t be feeling blue the first weekend in October! That’s because the Sixth Annual Bluesberry Festival takes place on Saturday, October 4, 10 a.m. – 6:30 p.m., at Bogue Falaya Wayside Park. With the mission of bringing music and art to the community, the family-friendly festival enriches the cultural scene of our parish. Come enjoy live music, performing all day long on two stages. To compliment the blues theme, you will enjoy art, food and culture, all with the added “flavor” of blueberry. In addition to the live entertainment, you will enjoy works from talented artisans; children’s village; variety of food trucks; wine tent; and beer garden. Of course, there will be lots of blueberry treats! For additional details and tickets, click here.

Gator Tail Trail Run

Perhaps you will be one of the Place finishers in the 2025 Gator Tail 5k Trail Run!

Wear Your Blue and Green

The Seventh Annual Northshore Technical Community College Gator Tail 5k Trail Run is set for Saturday, October 25, 7:30 a.m. at Tamanend, home of NTCC’s main campus. With a race course including woods and grassy paths through our destination community, participants are encouraged to set up teams to show their community spirit. Costumes are welcome, as October 31 is soon thereafter! In addition to the 5k race, the event offers a half-mile Gator Gallop for kids. The best part of the race (besides the finish line) is that proceeds benefit student scholarships. To sign up for the race, click here.

A Festival of Blue (and every other color)

You know its deep into fall, as the air cools, football is on and the Covington Three River Arts Festival happens! On Saturday and Sunday, November 15 and 16, Columbia Street is taken over with a palette of color. Artists from all over the country participate in this festival. Whether you prefer ceramics, paintings, photography, woodworking, metal work, sculptures or jewelry, you will find it here. Plus, there will be art demonstrations including pottery and glass blowing. The children’s discovery area, music, food and beverages will keep the entire family happy. Better yet, Admission is free! The festival runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

By the time a typical November rolls around in St. Tammany Parish, we would have enjoyed a plethora of festivals, fairs and other fun activities. As with the last several months, we have experienced cancellations of too many events to name. However, what I love most about our Parish is how it keeps things going! This month, three art events are attracting my attention, all in one day, November 14!

St-Tammany-Parish-art-festivals

The Northshore is known for its amazing offerings of fine and visual arts.

Art Event #1 – Covington Three Rivers Virtual Art Festival

I have always loved seeing the exciting and eclectic array of art displayed during this festival. While in years past we have been awed by the two-day extravaganza, this year the fun can still be had virtually. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., you can partake in the show via their Facebook page. You will have the opportunity to meet the artists, ask questions and purchase art. The event supports local artists, along with art education in area schools.

Art Event #2 – Olde Towne Slidell Art Market

The second Saturday of every month is a little extra special, thanks to this art fair presented by Green Oaks Apothecary and Olde Towne Slidell Association. It is a fantastic opportunity to see the latest from local artisans while enjoying live music and more, all with the cool autumn weather, from 4 to 9 p.m.

Art Event #3 – Second Saturday Art Walk

The historic St. John’s District showcases extra flair on the second Saturday of the month in Covington. From 6 to 9 p.m., the town spotlights intriguing artwork from local vendors. I love to stroll through the streets, then enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many wonderful restaurants in town.

The arts are always cool on the Northshore, and we appreciate the positive impact they have on our Parish. Now is the perfect time to enjoy those cool arts in the cool weather!
