Somersworth International Children's Festival
and Celebration
June 16th and 17th, 2023
Celebration Night!
Friday evening June 16th 2023, the night before the Somersworth International Children's Festival the festival organizers should be in bed early so they can wake up before sunrise to prepare for the following mornings festival, right? Wrong! Once again, the SFA board kicks off the festival with a bang. A pre-festival celebration will be held at the Festival Pavilion (located at one end of the Somersworth High School Football field). This ever popular event begins at 6:00 PM with live entertainment for both the young and the young at heart. The highlight of the evening comes just after sunset when the show is capped off with a spectacular fireworks display. Other activities throughout the evening will be available for the younger children along with a variety of tasty foods provided by local organizations and vendors.

Festival Day
At 10am on the 3rd Saturday in June, on June 17th, the morning of the festival that we've anxiously waited an entire year for, you will find that Downtown and the Noble Pines Park come alive with plenty of ethnic entertainment, tasty foods, and numerous children’s activities. There is a shuttle bus that you can ride to get you back and forth between the event sites or you can enjoy the short distance walk between the two locations. This is a rain or shine event, and stage areas do have a seating area (informal: grass or folding chairs depending on the stage).
