Old Home Day Celebration & Parade

Bring the family to the historic village of Franconia and experience an old time Fourth of July celebration. Watch the parade on Main Street, browse through the flea market tables, and compete in the famous Rubber Duck Race along the scenic Gale River. After a full day of activities, what better way to spend a balmy summer evening than listening to music outdoors, under the stars. To make the celebration complete, enjoy the magic of the fireworks display.  The Old Home Day Celebration and Parade for the Towns of Franconia, Sugar Hill, and Easton are a long standing tradition that you won't want to miss.

 Tickets for the Duck Race may be obtained by contacting a member of the Lafayette Lions Club, from Bob's Citgo Service and the Franconia Notch Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center. If you are unable to participate in the parade or events, a donation would be most appreciated.
