2021 TriPride Parade and Festival scheduled for Oct. in Bristol

Organizers of the TriPride Parade and Festival have announced the 2021 event is tentatively set for October in Bristol.

The annual festival was originally set to take place in the twin cities of Bristol, TN and Bristol, VA last year, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced its cancellation. This year’s TriPride Parade will also be a first in the nation as it will be held in two states at once.

The parade is scheduled to start on State St. and end with the festival being held at Cumberland Square Park. Should COVID-19 still be an active health concern in the region later this year, organizers say they will postpone to 2022.

This year’s event is scheduled for October 16th.
