Concord's 2024 Festival Season

Intown Concord is holding its 50th Annual Market Days Festival in 2024.

A few weeks ago, downtown Concord buzzed with energy as thousands gathered for the Northeast Coffee Festival. This inaugural event, presented in partnership Revelstoke Coffee LLC and Wayfarers Coffee, brought a lively crowd reminiscent of the beloved Market Days Festival. The festival took over Main Street, the Bank of New Hampshire Stage, The Hotel Concord, and Red River Theatres. The event was the perfect opportunity for countless visitors to make their way to Concord, NH, and explore our charming shops, eateries, and attractions.

But that's just the beginning! Concord is gearing up for even more excitement in 2024. Mark your calendars for the New Hampshire Book Festival on October 4-5, where nationally-recognized authors will host live presentations, panels, and book signings. This new literary festival, organized by the nonprofit New Hampshire Book Festival, promises an captivating experience thanks to partnerships with Ledyard National Bank, Capitol Center for the Arts, Gibson’s Bookstore, and the New Hampshire State Library.

Next up, we have the highly anticipated Concord Sound & Color festival on October 18-19. This dynamic celebration of music and arts will feature concerts, art installations, an outdoor market, interactive experiences, and more. A true collaborative effort, this festival is brought to life by the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, Capitol Center for the Arts, Intown Concord, Pillar Gallery + Projects, the City of Concord, Concord Community Music School, and Feathered Friend Brewing Company.

In addition to these large-scale festivals, Concord offers a steady stream of weekly and monthly events throughout the summer. Intown Concord's monthly First Fridays offer themed evenings, where shops stay open late, special activities pop up, and food trucks gather hungry crowds. Revelstoke Coffee LLC hosts Cars & Coffee on the second Sunday of each month at the New Hampshire State House, with The Main Event set for September 8. Concord Arts Market livens up Rollins Park on the second Saturday of each month, and the Concord Farmers Market is a Saturday morning staple.
