CONWAY — A mostly rain-soaked weekend didn’t dampen all the Independence Day activities put on pause in 2020 due to the pandemic. The town caught a break: Cloudbursts held off Sunday afternoon long enough for a short but sweet parade to take place in Conway Village and rain that fell later let up in time for a grand fireworks show in North Conway’s Schouler Park.
Despite earlier rain, Jackson’s fireworks took place Friday evening before an appreciative crowd.But Tamworth’s Friday festivities were canceled and rescheduled for this Saturday.
