Listed below are Fourth of July celebrations, parades and fireworks from around the state. Please note that many towns hold their fireworks displays on alternative dates as they may coincide with Old Home Day events.
Please note: While this list is fairly comprehensive, it is, by no means, a complete representation of every single fireworks display or parade happening in New Hampshire. We do our best to include all the towns we find or are sent information for but we, by nature of these kinds of things, will probably miss some along the way. We are human and can only do our best. Thank you for understanding 🙂
