Afetr a three-year hiatus, GALA Catskills is reviving its Day To Be Gay festival this Saturday at the Catskill Distillery/Dancing Cat Saloon in Bethel. A day of fun for the whole family is planned with dozens of vendors, BBQ, music, a Dog of the Day contest and much more.

A portion of the proceeds will go to local food banks and arts organizations in need, according to GALA Catskills' president James Lomax, who was interviewed by YNN about the event, in a video on the YNN website.

Suggested Donation is $10. A parent or guardian must accompany children under 12 and the child’s admission is free. -- Andrea Girolamo
