Portsmouth NH Annual Illuminated Holiday Parade,

About the Mission:
The Portsmouth Christmas Parade is the largest attended parade I have ridden in with the NHPGR. The streets are line with crowds 10-15 deep for most of the parade route. The NHPGR has attended this parade 5 out of the last 7 years, two of which were snowing or raining. This parade is an evening parade, perfect for lighting up you bike! The more lights the merrier
