The Ruffin Theater is throwing an all-day music marathon to celebrate the Fourth — and this year the tunes are indoors, so the Tennessee heat won’t stand a chance.

📍 Ruffin Theater, 113 W Pleasant Ave, Covington
🕐 Music starts at noon; headliner Jay Jones takes the stage at 7:30 p.m.
💲 $15 wristband (pay once, party all day)
