Concord’s Market Days Festival is our biggest outreach event of the year and always a lot of fun.
The 3-day event starts Thu., June 25 and ends Sat., June 27, 10:00 am to 8:00 pm each day. We could use your help with handing out treats and literature and talking to visitors. You will receive training beforehand to prepare you for talking to people about animals.
You can walk around and enjoy the festival before or after your shift. Bring along your family and friends!
At Portsmouth Market Square Day 2026, NHARL partnered with Voices of Wildlife in NH to promote environmentally safe mosquito control.
True or False? Drinking beer attracts mosquitoes.
We like to include some fun questions to take the sting off (pun intended) the serious ones.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated volunteers, festival organizers, and everyone who stopped by to learn about safe mosquito control!
Once again, NHARL will have a tent at Mutt Strutt an annual fundraiser hosted by our friends at the Manchester Animal Shelter.
The event is Sat., June 6 from 10 am to 2 pm at Livingston Park in Manchester and includes a one-mile walk around Dorrs Pond for eventgoers and their pooches.
Volunteers warmly welcomed! You can help for a couple hours or stay for the whole event. Email info@nhanimalrights.org.
Got the mid-winter blues? Join us for a change of scenery Saturday, Feb 28 at 12:00 pm at Veggie Life — a fully vegan restaurant in the charming seacoast town of Wells, Maine (1732 N Berwick Rd.).
Yes, it’s a bit of a drive, but look at this food…
Veggie Life is just minutes from the coast, so why not get some sea air with a winter beach walk — work up an appetite or walk off your lunch!
Also close by is The Center for Wildlife (375 Mountain Road, Cape Neddick). Their Nature Center and outdoor Ambassador Village is open 10-4. Tickets are $10.
Everyone is welcome, and you don’t need to be vegan to join! (Note: This is a pay-for-your-own-meal event.)
Drop us an email (info@nhanimalrights.org) if you plan to attend, so we can tell the restaurant how many to expect.

Amherst, NH is Halloween-famous, drawing thousands of trick-or-treaters. In 2024 we gave out 1,000 plant-based Reese’s & Hershey’s bars with “Dairy Is Scary” tags. We’re doing it again this year and asking for donations to cover the cost.
Don’t get many trick-or-treaters? Here’s your chance to put vegan candy into the hands of those little goblins!
Amherst, NH is known for its Halloween celebrations, attracting thousands of trick-or-treaters from in town and surrounding communities.
NHARL took advantage of the crowd by renting a space at Doors on the Green and delivering an unequivocal “Dairy Is Scary” message to kids and adults alike.
Our old barn door had a window, through which we looped the following 1-minute video of sad scenes on dairy farms.
About 1,000 trick-or-treaters stopped at our door, receiving either a plant-based Reese’s peanut butter cup or plant-based Hershey’s bar — with an important message securely attached!
Thank you to the donors who helped cover the cost of the candy!
Overall, Halloween in Amherst proved to be a highly effective and efficient way to share a message of compassion for animals with a broad audience.
We’re already looking forward to returning next year!
On Saturday, October 18, NHARL is once again participating in the Howl-O-Ween 5K hosted by the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire at the Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester (1 Line Drive), 10:00 am.
