HISTORY LIGHTS OUR WAY

On January 6th (1.6.23), Portsmouth NH 400th will hold the Official 2023 Kickoff & Reveal Event, opening the celebrations for Portsmouth’s 400th Anniversary.

All are welcome to this free family and community event. We’ll all meet at Prescott Park at 4:00 for a quick welcome, then we’ll flip the switch to turn the lights blue – the color of our PNH400 logo - on the Memorial Bridge!

Large glow sticks will be handed out to guide us (History Lights Our Way) as we create an illuminated march from Prescott Park to South Church, led by our volunteers and a special entertainer.

The beautiful and historic South Church will welcome us to warm up and enjoy a brief reveal party to provide a little taste of the fun and exciting events coming in 2023. 

 

Official PNH400 2023 Kickoff & Reveal
January 6, 2023, 4:00–6:00pm
from Prescott Park to South Church

Free to all but please register so we have enough glow sticks.
