CONWAY – It was a hot but joyous celebration for the return of the White Mountains Pride Festival to the grounds of the North Conway Community Center last Saturday. Despite highs in the 90s, attendance was believed to have equaled or slightly surpassed that of 2019 when the festival was last held in pre-pandemic full force, according to event chair Christopher Bellis of the White Mountains Pride Committee.
“It was a great day,” Bellis said Monday. “We had at least what we had in 2019 and perhaps exceeded it,” he added, noting the event attracted 500 in 2019.
