Save the Date: Hit the Decks | Thursday, May 7 ☀️

If you’re thinking about a spring visit to Portsmouth, this is your sign to book it.

Hit the Decks is one of our favorite nights of the year—and honestly, one of the best ways to experience the city if you’re visiting. On Thursday, May 7, downtown comes alive for the unofficial start of summer. Patios and decks fill up, doors swing open, and you can wander from place to place soaking in waterfront views, live music, and some of the best food and drinks around.

No tickets, no pressure—just show up and follow the energy. Whether you’re here for a night or making a weekend of it, this is Portsmouth at its most fun and most welcoming.

Grab a friend, make a loose plan (or don’t), and we’ll see you out there. 🌊

p.s. No boat required—the photo just shows folks cruising on last Hit the Decks day. You can absolutely do this on foot.
