Planning the 2018 Old Home Day Parade

Franconia NH annual parade is now accepting applications.

Franconia Notch Regional Chamber of Commerce and Dennis Hartwell have begun the planning and preparations for the 2018 parade.

A “duck race” down the Gale river as well as a fireworks display at the Dow after sunset happen round out the day-long celebration.
