Greater Andover Days

05/29/2026

We’re looking for a local veterans-focused charity or organization in the Andover community to receive 15% of Greater Andover Days button proceeds this year.

Because this year’s celebration connects with America’s 250th anniversary, we’d love to support a cause that honors veterans, service, and patriotism right here in our community.

Do you know of a deserving local nonprofit, program, or organization we should consider? Please share your suggestions in the comments or send us a private message.

Thank you for helping us spotlight a meaningful cause as we celebrate Greater Andover Days!

Blast from the past!

Thank you Andover Historical Museum for sharing this photo of the 1995 Greater Andover Days parade. How fun is this?!

Greater Andover Days parade 1995, at Lee & Andover Road before the carwash was there. Those were the days! Back when a parade didn't need anything fancy - just a few lawn tractors and neighbors lined up along the curb in lawn chairs. It was the kind of small-town moment that defined what it meant to grow up here. Many times over the years in Andover, community wasn't something you scheduled - it was something you simply showed up for. Parades, Greater Andover Days, it gave all of us something bigger than ourselves. Looking back now, it's clear those simple traditions have really been about something deeper: Learning how to live your best Andover Life. Even that little girl in this photo grew up with that love in her heart and now she shares it with the whole community with her efforts through AndoverLife. We want to give Rachelle Clift a shout out for all she does for Andover, keeping us in the know as to what's happening around town!! She's a great part of the
