Description

October's theme is Spooky Season!

Intown Concord and the City of Concord present First Friday, a monthly community event that brings together the people of downtown Concord for a fun-filled evening. On the first Friday of every month, businesses are encouraged to stay open late and add some excitement to the night by offering sales, giveaways, workshops, and other activities that are sure to draw in customers. 

This event is a great opportunity for the community to come together and support local businesses while enjoying a night out on the town. Whether you're looking for a great deal on some new clothes, a fun activity to do with friends, or just a chance to explore the downtown area, First Friday has something for everyone. 

So mark your calendars and join us for First Friday, a monthly celebration of community and commerce in downtown Concord. See you there!
