Cider Days sets return dates

The Cider Days event on historic Walnut Street is slated to make its return this year.

The event, which features artists, craft makers, performance stages and fall-themed activities, is scheduled Sept. 18-19, according to a news release.

Cider Days was called off last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to past reporting. The event is managed by the Downtown Springfield Association and presented by the Historic Walnut Street Association.

Artsfest, another annual festival on Walnut Street, returned this year in early May. It also was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
