Hosted by local nonprofit InTown Concord, Market Days runs from Thursday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. This is the 51st year of the celebration, and this year’s theme is “Love Where You Live.”
More than 150 vendors and organizations will be in attendance, with goods ranging from food and beverages to clothing, jewelry and more. The Concord Arts Market will have multiple areas at the festival.
The extravaganza will also feature live music on three stages – the Main Stage on South Main Street, the Homegrown Stage in Bicentennial Square and the Playground Stage in Eagle Square. Dozens of acts will take the microphone, showcasing a broad array of music.
