During the summer months, the Hampton Chamber of Commerce hosts special holiday fireworks celebrations and the Seafood Festival. Fireworks are every Wednesday evening, weather permitting. There is a playground near the Hampton Beach Chamber of Commerce office and over 80 free live summer concerts. These events are just a few of the reasons our beach has become a world-renowned tourist destination.

If that isn't enough reason to come visit Hampton Beach, we've started a list of other fun things to go, do, see while you're here, even if it's raining. This list is by far not complete. If you see a family-oriented activity that you like and it's not listed, please call or email us to let us know.
