400 YEARS YOUNG

Portsmouth NH 400 was founded to spark the city's collective imagination, leverage the talent of its multifaceted population and many organizations, and lead up to and beyond Portsmouth's 400th anniversary in 2023. Portsmouth NH 400's role involves convening, promoting, and coordinating celebration plans.

HAPPY LAST NIGHT TO 2023!

It’s been an honor and a privilege for all of our #PNH400 teams to have had the opportunity to serve, eat, talk, dance, march, befriend, run, play, sing, read, partner, learn, smile, and celebrate with this unparalleled community for the last year. Last stop? Let’s go out with a BANG: Pro Portsmouth #FIREWORKS tonight at the South Mill Pond at 7:30PM on 12/31/2023. Bundle up!

And welcome to the first night of Portsmouth’s next 400 years. We expect great things.
