About
Us
Founded in 2010, Experience Hampton is run by volunteers who work to promote and invest in Hampton's future.
Started by neighbors, run by volunteers.
Experience Hampton was founded in October 2010 by Hampton business owners and residents who wanted to bring back the town's Holiday Parade. The group quickly grew to more than 100 volunteers, and the first parade stepped off on December 4, 2010. Today we are a state-approved nonprofit run by a volunteer board.
Help keep Hampton's traditions going.
Every parade, tribute and downtown project is made possible by local sponsors, golfers, volunteers and donors. Want to sponsor the parade or give your time? We would love to hear from you.
