The Olde Towne Holiday Music Festival began in 1998 and has become the signature holiday event for the City of Portsmouth. In 2023, this special day of music and friendship takes place on Saturday, December 9, from 11 am until 5 pm. In addition to the main stages, you’ll find even more music around Olde Towne in restaurants, bars, and churches. The Portsmouth Olde Towne Farmers Market opens at 10 am. Spend the day in Olde Towne enjoying the sounds of the holiday season, and support the local shops and restaurants.
