Get ready for Arcade Music Fest — one of Covington’s most exciting new multi-venue music and arts festivals! This immersive two-day event was created to activate the historic, underutilized Pike Street Arcade Tunnel, transforming it into a main stage with lights, sound, and performances. Arcade Music Fest takes inspiration from previous festivals like Midpoint and Bunbury to celebrate local culture, creativity, and community through music, art and collaboration.
Stretching across four city blocks, the festival features eight stages, 50+ musical acts, 40+ local vendors, two epic after-parties and interactive activations — including a custom design featured by BLINK artist, Dan Shields. Participating venues include Second Story, Revival Vintage Spirits, Madison Live!, Galaxie, West 6th Brewing, Olde Towne Tavern, Ripple Wine Bar and The Hannaford, each contributing their own vibe to this citywide celebration. Whether you’re there for the genre-inclusive music, the lights, the food or the community, Arcade Music Fest is where Covington comes alive.
