Looking Ahead: 3 Annual Summer Events in Laconia, NH

Whether hanging out downtown, on Lake Winnipesaukee, or Weirs Beach, summer is the best time to visit Laconia, NH. Thanks to a full spectrum of events ranging from motorcycle rallies to cultural celebrations, guests of The NASWA Resort have many options regarding how they spend their summer vacations. Still, if you haven’t had the chance to experience our beloved lakeside community during the summer, you may wonder what to do when you aren’t soaking up the sun on our private shoreline. So, to help you start planning and make the most of your New Hampshire getaway and put some things on your itinerary, we’ll look ahead at some of the best annual summer events.

Laconia Motorcycle Week

As the official hotel of Laconia Motorcycle Week, the team at The NASWA Resort knows a thing or two about the oldest national motorcycle rally in the U.S. The annual event is one of the city’s biggest draws in the summer; the best part is you don’t have to be a biker to enjoy it. From custom bike shows to races and other competitions, Laconia Motorcycle Week has much to offer anyone interested in having a good time. In addition to all the festivities in town, The NASWA will have several events and activities, including the week’s official kick-off, The Peter Makris Memorial Run.

Laconia Multicultural Festival

The Laconia Multicultural Festival, held downtown, celebrates the vibrant cultural tapestry of Laconia and the Lakes Region. From its inception to the arrival of recent “New Americans,” the festival embraces diverse traditions through music, arts, crafts, and delectable cuisine. Over the past three decades, many immigrants and refugees from nearly every corner of the world have joined our community, enriching our neighborhoods and friendships.

4th of July in Laconia, NH

Starting with a late afternoon parade followed by live music, food, and fun, Laconia’s 4th of July Celebration is arguably the best in the Lakes Region. The parade kicks off at Laconia High School, winding its way to Opechee Park. Enjoy live music, browse vendors, and secure your spot for the evening fireworks. At NASWA Resort, you’ll have plenty of space to relax and revel in the spectacular show with your friends and family.

Not Your Typical Hotel in Laconia, NH

Summer events in Laconia, NH, play a pivotal role in making The NASWA Resort the perfect place to stay for all the festivities. Not only are we close to everything, but we also have several of our own ongoing events and celebrations to add to your fun in the sun. No matter how you slice it, you’re in for a treat when you stay at The NASWA this summer!
