The five-day event promises to provide some good old-fashioned fun for all past and present residents of all ages. Events and activities like a band concerts, kidz night, fireworks, parade, 5k road race, baby contest, children's games, and family orientated atmosphere makes this a special home town celebration. |
The Londonderry Old Home Day Committee is a group of volunteer citizens that successfully organize and plan the event each year. It holds monthly meetings from September to August on the third Thursday of each month at the Londonderry Town Hall in the Sunnycrest Conference Room. There is always a need for more committee volunteers. Funding for Old Home Day is a partnership between the Town of
Londonderry
and the local business community. The Committee successfully raises over $10,000.00 each year.
This website is constantly changing with new event information. Please feel free to look around and print out registration and sponsorship forms, maps and event schedules. If you have any questions, interested in volunteering or would like to provide financial assistance then please contact the Old Home Day Committee through this website.
The observance of Old Home Day has been a long-standing New Hampshire tradition for over the past 100 years. It was started in 1899 by Governor Frank Rollins as an effort to remedy the decline of the small farming town by inviting former residents, friends and family back to the
Granite
State
to make new acquaintances and renew old ones.
Londonderry
is one of less than a dozen communities that have faithfully observed Old Home Day on the third weekend in August since 1899.
