Concord's Homeless Persons Memorial Vigil
Event Details
Concord, NH Homeless Persons Memorial Day
Please join us on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 4pm on the sidewalk in front of the NH State House for a Homeless Persons Memorial service.
Homeless Persons Memorial Day is a national event that takes place on or around December 21, the first day of winter and the longest night of the year. This is a day to remember those who have died during the year while unhoused, unsheltered, living in shelters, transitional housing, or other uninhabitable places and spaces, and without a place to call home.
The Governor's proclamation will be read, a candle will be lit and a bell rung for each name we know of a person who has died in New Hampshire in the past year due to being, or having been, homeless.
This candlelight vigil may be the only ceremony of remembrance some of our unhoused community receive.
This event is free to attend, open to the public, and you do not need to register.
