We love a parade! And we love Small Business Saturday!

                               

Saturday November 30th is the Downtown Laconia Holiday Parade, presented by the Laconia Main Street Initiative and the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce and sponsored this year by the Bank of New Hampshire, Franklin Savings Bank and the Soda Shoppe Laconia. Beginning at 11 am in the south end by Wyatt Park, the parade proceeds down Main Street to Veteran's Square for the tree lighting. Join us for marching bands, vintage cars, prancers, dancers, floats and more - and don't forget Santa and Mrs. Claus! Chef Kevin Halligan of the Laconia Village Bakery and Laconia Local Eatery is our Grand Marshall this year! All your favorite downtown merchants will be open, too, celebrating Small Business Saturday. Make sure you visit your favorite shops, check out the new ones, and see what a difference buying local can make! 

We Love A Parade!

It's just five short weeks until the annual Downtown Laconia Holiday Parade! That's plenty of time to gather friends, build a float and mark your calendar to participate and get into the holiday spirit! You can download registration and information forms here - thanks again to the Laconia Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the parade with the Laconia Main Street Initiative. We'll see you Downtown!

Welcome to Laconia Main Street!

Welcome to Laconia Main Street, the Lakes Region's best-kept secret for shopping, dining, services and recreation! While we build a better website for the new year, you should enjoy the updates here.

Saturday November 24th brings bands, dancers, vintage cars and more to our Main Street in the annual Holiday Parade! The parade starts in the south end of town and continues down Main Street, ending up with Santa's arrival in Veteran's Square for the traditional lighting of the Christmas Tree! With new lights, it's sure to be a focal point of downtown visiting. Many downtown merchants will be open before, during and after the parade - come early and stay late to visit them! There are several new and newly moved businesses, too -- don't miss them!

The Laconia Main Street Initiative is hosting its annual Holiday Open House on Saturday December 8th. Participating merchants welcome you to browse and shop local independent businesses, offering holiday specials, refreshments and unbeatable service from people whom you know -- and who know you!

We're building a better downtown for Laconia, and a better website to match. Watch for it in the new year, and visit our brick and mortar locations today, whether you need a gift, a service or just a smile! Laconia Main Street - it's Main Street, and more!
