It’s summer! Or at least, it’s the season of festivals and happenings that start Memorial Day weekend and offer up those summer vibes. In this week’s issue of the Hippo, we bring you oodles of summer events including fairs and festivals, art events, music festivals, outdoor and summer playhouse theater, nature events and more. Load up on sunscreen and get ready to head out for some summer fun.
Also on the cover Looking for some tasty fun? John Fladd serves up all the details on Manchester’s Taco Tour (next Thursday, May 28) and the Concord-based Sweet Springtime Stroll (this Saturday, May 23). See page 24 for those stories. John also talks to an organizer at the Rubber Duck Regatta in Nashua, part of four days of fun planned in the Gate City (page 23). Michael Witthaus also gets all the details about the ongoing Nashua International Sculpture Symposium. This year’s sculptors are working now on pieces that will become a part of the city’s landscape (page 20).
