A unique new night market has arrived in Concord, bringing food, artisan vendors, live entertainment and cultural performances to one of the East Bay’s best-known downtown gathering spots.
The new Concord Night Market and AANHPI Heritage Celebration debuted in May at Todos Santos Plaza and is now scheduled to continue monthly through November.
The next market takes place Friday, June 12, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Todos Santos Plaza, located at 2175 Willow Pass Road in downtown Concord.
The event is designed as an evening community gathering with food trucks, local vendors, live music, cultural performances and family-friendly activities. Organizers describe it as a place to enjoy “great vibes, amazing vendors, live music and delicious food.”
Unlike a standard farmers market, the Concord Night Market tries to capture the feel of a nighttime cultural festival. The series launched as part of an AANHPI Heritage Celebration, with a focus on performers, artisans, entertainment and food.
That makes it part of a growing local night market scene in Contra Costa County. Pleasant Hill recently brought back its own AANHPI night market, while Concord is now adding a recurring downtown version at Todos Santos Plaza.
The remaining scheduled Concord Night Market dates are:
- Friday, June 12 (tonight, as we write this!)
- Friday, July 10
- Friday, August 14
- Friday, September 11
- Friday, October 9
- Friday, November 13
Each event runs from 5 to 9 p.m.
Admission is free.
For families, the event offers an easy Friday night outing without having to drive to Oakland or San Francisco for a larger night market experience. For downtown Concord, it adds another reason to visit Todos Santos Plaza after work, with dinner, entertainment and local vendors all in one place.
