New Hampshire’s capital city may not be the first place you think of in winter, but we’ve got quite a lot to offer in all seasons. Community events abound here, both large and small. In late January, just steps outside where lawmakers are crafting legislation, crafters of a different kind will be creating works of art in the form of ice carvings on the State House lawn as part of Concord NH Winter Fest.

From Saturday, January 27th, 2024 to Sunday, January 28th, 2024, Concord NH Winter Fest will be taking place downtown for the sixth year in a row.
