Bring your best parade watching chair and an appetite because Cold Spring Hometown Pride Days are back for 2021!

The community celebration took a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year it's back to normal for the town, kind of. There's one big difference this year.

Firefest is this weekend already. Typically, the country music festival, which draws in national and local acts, is the same weekend as Cold Spring Hometown Pride Days.

However, this year the festival is running the weekend before.
