Made your New Year’s Plans Yet?
Posted On: 12/25/2017If you still haven’t made your plans to ring in 2018 yet, never fear. We’ve pulled together a guide to some of the best ways to celebrate on New Year’s Eve in New Hampshire – no tickets or wait list required!
If you find yourself near Portsmouth, their First Night celebration is not to be missed. This family-friendly celebration sees thousands of visitors per year, and a party that takes over downtown Portsmouth until early morning. Brave the cold for ice sculpture displays in the Square, street dancing from 5 pm until midnight, and stargazing at 6pm hosted by the NH Astronomical Society on Pleasant Street. Get ready for the fireworks display at 7:30 pm at South Mill Pond, and the grand finale – the countdown to 2018 starting at 11:50 pm! If you’re not up for the outdoors, there are also a number of indoor events throughout the night. Saint John’s Fellowship Hall will host face painting, a magic show, storytelling, and a psychic. Middle Street Baptist Hall also will have musical performances starting at 8:15 pm. Check the schedule to plan your night!
The charming town of Waterville Valley, nestled in the White Mountains, also hosts a New Year’s celebration every year. From dogsled rides, ice skating sleigh rides, and more, this celebration has all the cozy winter fun you could want. Don’t miss the fireworks over Corcoran’s Pond in the town center at 7:30pm! And get there early - the town closes off to visitors as it gets more full.
Enjoy celebrating the New Year, and be sure to make all of your winter transportation reservations as soon as possible.
