SATURDAYS THRU JULY

The program that began as a pilot to identify pedestrian-friendly street closures back in 2003 was called "Summer in the Street." Well, it's back for 2013. The program, produced by Pro Portsmouth, begins on Saturday, June 22^nd from 5:30 – 9pm with TJ Wheeler & Friends. (Click for summer schedule) 

In addition to great music throughout the series the July 20^th program, Kids’ Night in the Street, features the Seacoast Civic Dance Company and UNH’s Little Red Wagon’s production of “Into the Grimm.” 

Pleasant Street from Porter Street to Market Square will be closed on each event evening from 5:00pm through 9:30pm. Vehicular traffic and parking on that section of Pleasant Street will be prohibited. 

The closures continue on June 29, July 6, 13, 20, and 27. Information and program updates are available at the official Web site.
