Dance
and sing! Laugh and learn! Eat and be merry! The seventh annual
Newmarket Heritage Festival celebrates the rich historic,
cultural, and natural heritage of a small New England mill
town. The three-day event takes place in the heart of historic
downtown Newmarket overlooking the Lamprey River and features
multi-cultural music and dance, artisan demonstrations, historic
walking tours, narrated boat tours, kayak excursions, a model
railway, hands-on children's activities, fine arts and crafts,
vendor booths, international foods, and more. Standing watch
over the festivities are the buildings that first shaped this
town. The mills, where so many labored so hard, are tangible
reminders that by working—and celebrating—together
it is possible to achieve a sense of community, a place of
belonging. We hope you'll join us!
