Holidays Like a Hallmark Movie

I am so excited about spending some time in St. Tammany Parish for the holidays. I have heard from several locals that no matter what you are wanting to do, whether that is eat, drink or be merry (perhaps all three), you have plenty of options and opportunities that rival what you see in a Hallmark movie. I have highlighted three events I plan to enjoy the first half of December, and I think you will too! Covington Celebration There will be something for all ages at St. Tammany's Holiday Festival of the Arts. Downtown Covington will be

On one of my visits to the Northshore, a local resident asked if I had been to Wine Country. Yes, I answered; I have visited Napa, California. She was referring to the area in Louisiana known for succulent grapes. Wines are created in the Pelican State? I was a bit skeptical, so off I went to Louisiana’s fabled Wine Country in Bush.

I knew there had to be an interesting story behind this New Orleans' favorite brewery. So off I went, starting my trek at the Covington trailhead. Knowing the distance from Covington to Abita via the Trace was less than four miles, I timed it perfectly to have lunch at the pub. Tammany Trace is a great way to get from one area to

On a recent trip to Louisiana's Northshore, I decided to stay in Covington, a delightful town just north of Mandeville. While the town has all the modern conveniences, it is a place resplendent with community spirit and history. Simply, it presents an incredible taste of what a less-stressed life has to offer. Unique restaurants. Outdoor recreation choices. Quaint shops and galleries. The Chimes Restaurant outdoor deck overlooks Bogue Falaya River. Covington has a wonderful collection of restaurant options from which to choose. Just take a peek at the listing on the Louisiana Northshore website here. A local
