Kick Off Your Weekend with Art, Music & History! Enjoy live music in Rotary Park May through September!

The 2025 Belknap Mill New Year’s Eve Ball brought history and celebration together for a memorable night at Laconia’s most iconic landmark. Guests enjoyed music, delicious food and drinks, and plenty of dancing as they welcomed the New Year in style. Dressed to impress, attendees toasted new beginnings and rang in the year surrounded by friends, festivity, and the Mill’s historic charm.

The Belknap Mill Sock Hop is a beloved annual tradition, held on the first Friday in September. Step back in time with live music from the 1950s and ‘60s, enjoy free admission to the museum, explore a classic car display, and celebrate the opening of a new art exhibit. Don’t miss the chance to cool off with a root beer float at our fundraiser — a sweet finish to a nostalgic night in downtown Laconia!
