Past identity: Nashua Pride operated as a professional baseball team in Nashua, NH, from 1998 to 2009, playing at Holman Stadium and competing in the Atlantic League (1998–2005) and Can-Am League (2006–2009). The franchise won the Atlantic League Championship in 2000 and the Can-Am League Championship in 2007 before being renamed the American Defenders of New Hampshire in 2009 and relocating to Pittsfield, MA; the team folded after the 2011 season. The name remains a local touchstone for fans and event organizers. In 2025, Nashua hosts two major community events on June 21: the Nashua Pride Festival (3–6 PM) at Nashua City Hall and Library Plaza, and the Nashua Pride Parade & Festival (10 AM–6 PM) across City Hall, Main Street, and Library Plaza. These events are free and promoted through the Nashua Pride Festival Facebook page, with updates and changes posted there.
