Come out and enjoy Concord’s Hometown Picnic! ADMISSION IS FREE. Starting at 4:00 PM, the gates will open for the 13th Annual 4th of July Festivities. The event will feature live music on stage, a Stars & Stripes Kids Carnival Midway, food and vendor booths, and local artist exhibits.

Live entertainment on stage will begin at 5:30 PM featuring a hometown favorite Brooks Lundy and at 7:30 PM we have 3day Weekend. 3day Weekend is a high energy, fun, 10-piece band, with a great groove!
