Hampton Beach's 4th Of July 2020 Fireworks Canceled

HAMPTON, NH — July 4 is quickly approaching, which means it is time to find out what Fourth of July fireworks and festivities are going on near you this Independence Day.

Due to the new coronavirus, many events in Hampton and New Hampshire have been canceled. The annual Seafood festival isn't happening this year; the country music festival is a goner, too. The sandcastle contest is being held in September.

Fireworks were expected to come back beginning July 1 (presuming the pipers plovers don't get in the way) after every Wednesday for the rest of the summer. However, they have been canceled for July 4.

Fireworks may be held later in the month. Check the Hampton Beach website for future notices.
