For over 30 years the Town of Concord has celebrated our nation’s Independence Day with a daylong event, 11:30 am to 4:30 pm, Picnic In the Park. All are invited to the Emerson Field for 2017 Fourth of July festivities that include all day music, many kinds of food supplied by Concord non-profit organizations and activities for all ages.

Picnic in the Park is a wonderful celebration: it starts with a ride in a hot air balloon & bike parade, has food and apple pie, jewelry sale, music, and all sorts of activities for all ages.
