Loudon, New Hampshire is a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of major city life. It is a cozy town nestled near Concord New Hampshire. The tents may be down, the cars revving up for the 2020 season, but there’s still lots to do an hour and a half north of Boston.
The big granddaddy in Loudon is, of course, the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The featured event, The Gift of Lights, runs from Thanksgiving to January 5. https://www.nhms.com/about/granite-state-legends-cars/
The holidays are here, and that means it’s time for New Hampshire Motor Speedway to trade in the checkered flags for more than 2.5 million twinkly LED lights for the ninth annual Gift of Lights presented by Eastern Propane & Oil, open Thursday, November 28, 2019 (Thanksgiving) through Sunday, January 5, 2020.
