Enjoy Market Square and adjacent blocks free of cars! Stroll the Square, enjoy the shops and restaurants, and see downtown Portsmouth from a different perspective!
Sparkling days on the Seacoast encourage the spending of extra time outdoors. It’s a time to take advantage of everything the downtown offers residents — with the added incentive of no traffic and some special family activities offered by the Recreation Department.
Come out, enjoy the best of the season — and the best of Portsmouth — at Share the Square!
Kids’ activities highlights include:
- Storytelling
- Face painting
- Chalk the streets
- Chess/checkers/Jenga
- Giant Twister, giant Connect Four
- Cornhole

- The Public Works Department offers Touch a Truck for kids.
