On December 5, 2019, the Satsuki Garden Club will host an intimate holiday experience with the Covington Candlelight Christmas Home Tour. The public is invited to see traditional southern holiday decorations while touring five private homes and two churches.

For many, the healing power of the season is found watching miracles unfold in classic holiday movies. With Covington and Newton County being well known for our film and TV tourism, we’re proud of all the productions that choose our area, and one movie about miracles is perfect for the season. Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love is a holiday classic that was filmed here, and we love to watch it year after year.

The holidays in Covington are a time when those seeking Christmas cheer come from near and far to celebrate our southern traditions. If you are interested in history tourism, you may be pleasantly surprised at how many of our southern Christmas traditions have been around.

Christmas in Newton County is a magical time to spend with family and friends. Some of the things we love about the holiday season are the music and decorations. Whether you come to visit us for Christmas vacation or take time to enjoy the holidays during a staycation, here are three must-see events in Newton County that will make treasured memories of fun and merriment.
