Nightly concerts, fireworks and more return
Many of the beach events were canceled last summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event kicking off the summer is one of the few held last summer and that is the Hampton Beach Sand Sculpting Classic. It returns for its 21st year June 17-19.
Organizer Greg Grady said last year they were the only sand sculpting contest in the world that was not canceled.
HAMPTON College student Luke Gould said everyone should be able to enjoy North Beach and Hampton Beach, regardless of whether they can afford to feed parking meters.
He s concerned a decision by town leaders to make parking along town roads at the beach resident-only will deny people that opportunity.
“I have spent a lot of my early years at the beaches, said Gould. Just seeing how this might affect, as far as costs, other people from being able to attend the beach concerns me.”
Gould, a University of New England student and Exeter resident, was one of several who called into Monday’s selectmen meeting in response to the board’s decision three weeks ago to make all town beach roads resident-only parking.
