As New Hampshire’s Capital City, Concord gets a lot of attention for politics. But locals also know that the city is a hub for arts and culture. Concord boasts the largest theater in New Hampshire, contemporary sculptures on display downtown, an award-winning independent cinema and a dazzling live music and performing arts scene.
