Hampton Beach New Year's Fireworks 2018

HAMPTON, NH — The stage is set for the annual Hampton Beach New Year's Eve fireworks show. The show is Mon., Dec. 31, at 8 p.m. between B Street and C Street. The event is free.

"This is a family-fun event," said organizers with the Hampton Beach Village District, which sponsors the event. "The fireworks are especially impressive in winter because the colder weather provides for a crisper, clearer view of the pyrotechnics display."

The Blue Ocean Society and State Division of Parks and Recreation will host open houses along the beach starting at 7 p.m. There will refreshments and public restrooms will be open.

Also on New Year's Eve, the First Night Portsmouth celebration will be held, featuring a variety of events and a countdown to midnight.
