Things to See & Do

Get out and enjoy summer! Concord Center sizzles with live music (on Walden Street), tasty food, irresistible sales in our charming boutiques, and even a beer garden (at the Wright Tavern). Make a day of it by taking in a tour of one of our museums. Lots of fun for the whole family! Sponsored by the Concord Chamber of Commerce, the Mass Cultural Council, and the Town of Concord.

Gather with friends and family for music, family friendly outdoor games, and of course ice-cold beer, specialty drinks, food - and a chance to tour historic Wright Tavern! Your support helps one of America's most important historic buildings thrive and continue to tell the story of the beginning of the United States. Saturday August 2nd from 11am to 7pm (rain date August 9th). Suggested donation $10

Join DCR Interpreter Jacqui Kluft and Historian Richard Smith for a program expanding on Thoreau's Anti-Slavery actions after his night in jail. We will discuss the influence of women in the anti-slavery movement, Thoreau's Anti-Slavery meeting at Walden on August 1,1846, and his fiery lecture "Slavery in Massachusetts" at Harmony Grove, Framingham. All are welcome. 

Head over to West Concord for the annual Summer Concert Series. Each night, a live band will take the stage to play all your favorite songs, old and new, at Rideout Playground.
