Had a good time Saturday at the Hampton beach seafood festival…read more The beer tent was adjacent to one stage and all the cans were 16 oz. for $6 which isn't ridiculous for an event like this. There were 3x more "stuff" vendors than food vendors (always love to see more food vendors). Huge advantage to an event like this is the ability to hit multiple vendors for a snack. We tried out the clam chowder from Rye Harbor Lobster pound, a fried clam basket from another vendor and oysters on the half shell from another vendor (and sampled a beer or two). If you go, I'd suggest you arrive early. By the time we left the food lines were getting pretty long and it was getting hot. Bands were loud and decent, stopped by the food demonstration and it was underwhelming. Good time - will make plans to go again.

For the 2017 Hampton Beach Seafood Festival (September 8 - 10, 2017), the admission prices were:…read more$5 Friday $10 Saturday admission $8 Sunday Children under 12 get in for free We attended on Saturday and took advantage of their free in-town satellite parking and free shuttle (school bus!) service. Wristbands were conveniently offered for sale (cash only) at our parking lot (no line!) so we paid up before boarding for our quick 10 min ride to the beach. Each bus route was conveniently marked with a letter. ATMs were available, while some vendors would also accept credit cards. Both portapotties and real bathrooms with running water (and longer lines) were available. Having arrived past lunch time, with empty stomachs, we hit the two food tents first. I had done my reconnaissance, so I made a beeline to Rye's with their 4.5 star rating on Yelp, and their fluffy chowder. On the way, I spied a tempting pile of onion rings pass by, but before I could discover the source, a friend had hit upon 1.5 star La Spiaggia and returned with a huge blooming onion which we tore into and which easily satisfied the hankering for fried onion of some sort. Seafood stew at Old Salt was well reviewed by another, but there was only so much a stomach could handle. The chowder at the cooking demo tent called out to us, but they ran out before the back rows had the chance to troop through. So we settled in a spot in the middle rows to await the next and final demo, by Community Oven. In the meantime, I had a fun moment when I realized the name of the preceding chef sounded familiar and had a lightbulb moment when I made the connection to the recent steak cooking competition I had attended - yes, Justin Rexroad was indeed a contestant! Basically, the price of admission was for the food samples I tasted from the chef demo, including some yummy soft homemade marshmallows, and a few freebies and samples from other vendors and businesses that had set up shop along the boulevard, as many of the restaurants participating in the festival already had storefronts alongside the road. There was also live music entertainment at the stage lined with rows of seating before it. We had a good time, though we decided to avoid the mass exodus by departing prior to the scheduled fireworks on Saturday.

Well this is a long one. On Friday October 2, 2026, at…read moreapproximately 5:16 PM, my wife purchased produce from Tendercrop Farm at 123 Dover Point Road in Dover, New Hampshire. We have shopped at Tendercrop before and never had any issues. A display sign was clearly the worded "Blueberrys". Relying on that store signage, my wife purchased a small box the fruit believing that it was blueberries. We feed our 3 year old mini Dachshund Molly blueberry's as a healthy treat. We are well aware dogs should never eat grapes, raisins or chocolate because they are toxic to dogs. When we got home what we thought were farm harvested blueberries were packed in a little green box with a clear cellophane wrapper on it held be a single elastic band. There was nothing written on the package. At home my wife said "try these blueberries they are so fresh". I ate a couple and they tasted like blueberries but slightly different and they had seeds. And I noticed tiny little roots stems. We both thought, well these are farm grown and not from a big store like Market Basket . So I gave Molly a few and more that night. On Saturday she ate more, approximately 12-14 in total on the two days Friday and Saturday On Sunday the 4th my wife started to question these blueberries . She dug out of the kitchen trash bucket the sales receipt and to our horror saw "Concord Grapes" $3.99. It was then realized that these were not blueberries and were Concord grapes. Grapes can be toxic to dogs and can cause potentially serious kidney injury. Since our Vets office was closed we immediately sought emergency veterinary care at Port City Veterinary referral Hospital. We spent approximately four long hours there. Bloodwork was performed to evaluate her kidney function, and she was administered fluids. The emergency veterinary bill was $465, which we paid out of pocket because her pet insurance had a $500 deductible. Just before we left for the hospital my wife called Tendercrop to tell them what happened. She spoke to a female employee that stated that it was probably a customer that inadvertently placed the grapes under a Blueberry signage after deciding not to buy them. My wife told me she was absolutely certain that was wrong and someone, (an employee) must have mistakenly placed them and others under the wrong sign. I then called and asked to speak with manager or supervisor. I believe same woman that spoke my wife spoke to me. I explained this serious mistake and that we were en-route to the Hospital because toxicity effects from grapes don't show up immediately. Your dog can act completely fine one minute and just like that they can become seriously ill needing emergency medical care. This unidentified female manager at first listened to me but completely changed her attitude when I said that Tendercrop mislabeled the Blueberry's which were in fact small Concord grapes, and that my Vet bills should be covered by Tendercrop. At that point she became belligerent, argumentative, and rude taking no responsibility. Never concerned about my dog. She then abruptly and unprofessionally hung up on me. I never cursed or said anything to deserve that treatment. At the hospital Molly was blood tested and given a fluid injection. Thankfully The blood tests were normal. We left the hospital around 4:30. The bill was $465.00 with Sunday ruined by stress and worry if my dog's kidneys were going to shut down and have to be hospitalized. Because of the delay that of the onset of kidney toxicity from the grapes we were told that Molly must be tested again in 48 hrs before we can breath easier that she's in a safe zone. Monday morning we called her regular Vet and made appointment to bring her in Tuesday the 6th for the critical second test. Mollys regular PCP stated that some dogs don't have a severe reaction to grapes and some do. And that Tuesday's test was critical. So the Tuesday came and thank God prayers were answered and her kidney function was normal. Another $100, $65 of which we can claim in the Trupanion coverage. We were considering small claims court for the $465 but with a filing fee of $125 it's a risk because the only proof of what happened would be the direct evidence of what my wife saw. And Tendercrop would counter that the Concord grapes were labeled correctly and a customer misplaced the box my wife picked up. It would be my wife's word against the store with no real proof on both sides. The magistrate would have to decide whose story was more convincing. So we decided to fold our cards and walk away with what is most important thing which is Mollys health. We are very disappointed in the conduct and unwillingness and total disregard of the management of the store to take any part in the responsibility of this incident. We will NEVER enter Tendercrop again.

I would suggest bringing your own lawn chairs for comfortable seating. It's fairly expensive to rent a table/chairs. Also arrive about an hour early for the best seats!

Just an hour away from the city, with plenty of parking, Cider Hill Farm was a great time! They have lots of small bites and also a food truck for proper food. They have a farm store and a cider bar. Their cider flights were very creative, you can try 4 for $26. We got half a dozen of apple cider donuts for $6 and hot cider for $3! Amazing prices compared to the farms closer to the city. The lines at the farm shop were very very long, so plan ahead. They have plenty of porta-potties but in the afternoon they had run out of soap. Something that they can keep an eye on for their busy season. They have some farm animals, lots of chickens. They also had pumpkins and other picking items, which we didn't indulge in. We ended up getting burgers from the food truck $19 with the fries. Overall I'm very impressed at how much space and how fast the service is as well as how adult and kid friendly they are. Come with your family or with friends, you'll have a great time!

Excellent guide map gives a little blurb about each significant stop, and leads you around so you don't miss a thing. It is not a huge place where you walk half a mile in between sculptures, it is a pleasant path of regularly-occurring creative elements to observe and appreciate. Look up, down, and all around so you don't miss the many sculptures made from reclaimed salvage. Barbells, band saws, cymbals, farm implements -- all welded together in artistic ways that guide you along the path. Meanwhile, flora and fauna of unique varieties abound. Benches and chairs here and there. We strolled along and spent about 90 minutes doing the loop on the grounds. So much to see, so many deep breaths to take, plenty of picnic spots. Good bathrooms, interesting gifts, something for all ages. Hidden gem.
