In every season, there are special events in Meredith and the surrounding towns in addition to our outdoor activities. The February Ice Fishing Derby in Meredith Bay is a winter highlight, netting curious spectators to view the trophy trout, perch, pickerel and more. May's Meredith in Bloom celebrates the return of warm weather, bursting with color from daffodils, tulips, lilacs and flowering trees. Motorcycle Week brings classic and custom bikes to the area in June. Throughout our towns, Independence Day heralds the summer season, and fireworks displays are accented with parades, barbecues, and the fun Rubber Duckie Race at Mill Falls Marketplace in Meredith. The annual Lakes Region Fine Arts and Crafts Festival brings over 100 juried artists and craftspeople to Meredith, demonstrating their talents and selling their wares during the last weekend in August. Autumn reveals one of the most spectacular shows of foliage color in the country, beautifully reflected in our many lakes, and accompanied by festivals, parties and the Sandwich Fair. And our holidays are bright, with our spectacular Festival of Trees in Hesky Park in Meredith, open houses for shopping, and fun horse and wagon rides among twinkling snowflakes. Come to the Meredith area... any time of year!
