Old Home Day kicks off this year with the Senior Barbecue at 5-6 PM on Wednesday, August 12. The barbecue is held at the Lions Hall Pavilion on Mammoth Road in Londonderry, NH, across from the Town Common. You need a ticket for this event and you must be a senior citizen to attend. The Lions cook up a fantastic meal and good fun is had by all. The seniors have a raucous good time and are usually the rowdiest crowd of the 5-day Old Home Day celebration!

This event is followed by a fantastic concert by the Windham Swing Band at 6:30 PM on the Town Common. Folks of all ages may attend the concert, and it’s an exceptionally good one! One of the highlights of the Old Home Day celebration.

On Kidz Night, clowns delighted children by making them balloon animals.

Friday night was a fabulous time – slightly damp – but fabulous! The fireworks were fantastic! “The best I’ve seen in 11 years of coming to the fireworks!” said one Mom.

Many people watched from their cars and enjoyed a spectacular show. Others preferred to stand in the rain and ooh and aah! Even if you didn’t see the fireworks, we’re betting that many Londonderry residents heard them!

Unfortunately the “Souled Out” band was unable to perform due to weather conditions. They have given us many great shows in the past and we thank them for coming to play for us!

Here is a group of folks ready to have some fun!

These four cool cats with hats were having a blast!

Ann Gaffney and son Neil came prepared for the weather!

These girls were having fun with a balloon.
