Outdoor Music: Manchester vs Nashua

When must outdoor music stop in Nashua, NH?

Nashua Chapter 201 (Noise) does not publish a fixed clock-time outdoor-music end time. The standard is the reasonableness / 50-foot audibility test - operating any radio, TV, stereo, loudspeaker, sound amplifier, or other electronic sound-reproduction device in a manner that disturbs neighbors is unlawful at all hours, and operation clearly audible at 50 feet from the source is prima facie evidence (fine not less than $100). Public-street vocal performances (yelling, shouting, singing) are barred between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Permitted special events at Greeley Park Bandshell, Holman Stadium, and downtown Main Street operate under City of Nashua event-permit conditions. NH RSA 644:2 disorderly conduct is the statewide backstop.

Where are the main outdoor concert venues in Nashua?

The City of Nashua's free SummerFun concert series runs every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. at the Greeley Park Bandshell (100 Concord Street) through the summer.

Holman Stadium (historic 1937 venue on Amherst Street) hosts paid concerts with $300 day-game and $400 night-game facility fees.
