St. Tammany Parish Fair kicks off with food, fun, memories

COVINGTON, La. (WGNO) — The St. Tammany Parish Fair is officially underway in Covington.

It has been held for over 100 years in St. Tammany Parish. It is a community tradition with some major draws, including the mini farm.

Other activities include livestock shows, a rodeo, lots of entertainment, several vendors and delicious food for everyone to try.

St. Tammany Parish Queen Madison Hogan tells WGNO that being this year’s queen is something she has been vying for for a long time.

“It holds a special place in my heart. When they called my name on stage, I felt like all my hard work and determination had paid off,” Hogan said.

The fair also gives back to the community with $25,000 in cash prizes and scholarships.

It’s a special event for the public. The fair is located at 1304 N. Columbia Street in Covington. The drive-in entrance is on N. Magee Street.

The fair will be held from Wednesday through Sunday. For a schedule of activities, visit the event website.
