Not everyone comes to race on Market Square Day. An average of 150,000 annual visitors come instead for the food, music, shopping and more.

How often do you get Abe and a red parrot in the same shot? We found Mr. Lincoln working the crowd prior to the NH Primary. The parrot, his owners claim, might make a good candidate too.

Over by the State Street stage, a few dancers were working out in the gorgeous afternoon weather -- sunny, yet cooled by breezes from the Piscataqua River.

Like we said, you can see the church steeple from almost everywhere. The dancing went on into the evening, followed by fireworks and festivities all over town.
