Around 20 plein air artists will be coming back to Tamworth to paint on April 23th to April 25th 2026. The Retreat will give artists time to discover and paint the beautiful area that we are lucky enough to call home.

Light the night Jan 18, 2026

The Chocorua Community Association had it’s 10th annual Light the Night on Sunday January 18th 2026. The community event brought people to the Chocorua River Dam Park, ownership of which was recently transferred to the CCA from previous owners Peter Smart and Judith Reardon. 

The event began with hot beverages at The Farmstand, a bonfire was lit, adjacent to the dam, at 5pm, and at 6pm, everyone retired to Runnells Hall for a community pot luck. The bonfire wqas fed with spent Christmas trees that local residents had dropped off at the park. 

Be sure to check out the acclaimed Tamworth Farmers Market, running every Saturday outdoors at the UUFES Church parking lot, from Mid May to the end of October, then every two weeks indoors at the Brett School from Nov thru the Holidays, then in the Tamworth Town House Jan through April.
