That makes it one of the bigger free outdoor spring events on Concord’s calendar, and a notable one for families looking for a low-cost weekend outing in central Contra Costa County.
What to expect
According to the organizer’s current event listings, Bay Area SpringFest will include music on the plaza stage, a dozen food vendors, a beer and wine garden, free activities for kids, and shopping from a wide range of vendors.
Some organizer materials also say the first 400 attendees will receive a SpringFest goody bag, and that registered attendees will get a free raffle ticket. Additional raffle entries may be available for food donations benefiting Monument Crisis Center. Pre-registration is also being promoted with a complimentary $2 “Spring Buck” pickup at the festival check-in tent. (Eventbrite)
