Concord Multicultural Festival c/o Granite United Way

YES - It's happening! The 2025 Concord Multicultural Festival will take place on Sunday, September 21!

This year, our mission is more important than ever.

For nearly 20 years, the Concord Multicultural Festival brings people together from all backgrounds to share and celebrate diverse cultures with food, music, art, and activities. The Festival is a beacon of joy, a favorite of many, and a place where many memories and meaningful connections are made. 

More than a joyous event for our community to enjoy once a year, the Concord Multicultural Festival has been a catalyst for year-round cultural connections, economic growth, and vibrancy in this little city. Most importantly, the Festival sets the stage for the ongoing work of cultivating a safe and supportive community.

Since the Festival began, Concord has come so far. We have become much more tolerant and welcoming of people from other cultures. We’ve become a much more vibrant community with access to delicious foods, beautiful artwork and exciting new events all year long. The value of diversity is on full display!

However, in the past several years, the national conversations have taken an ugly turn. The anti-immigrant rhetoric on the national stage has real life, local consequences for immigrant families and individuals living here in our community. 

We must stand firmly against the harmful rhetoric, and stand in unwavering solidarity with our New American friends and neighbors. Join us to say: everyone is welcome, and there is no place for hate. 

Friends, time and time again, you have shown up for our diverse community. We hope you will continue to stand with our newest neighbors. None of us are safe, unless the most vulnerable among us are safe. 

Your support goes directly into the Festival with an emphasis on our mission, which we implement throughout the year. You are helping us to create an event that is not only fun, but meaningful, fulfilling, and safe for all who participate. And most importantly, your donation is a gift of welcoming, a testament to the beauty of a diverse community, and steadfast support of the many New Americans who live here. 

Thank you for being part of this wonderful and diverse community!

PS - Save the date: Sunday, September 21, 2025 at Keach Park! 

Who We Are

Our mission is to create a Welcoming Community for all by fostering a culture of appreciation for diversity, providing engaging learning opportunities, and empowering new Americans with opportunities to successfully integrate and be part of our community.

The Festival celebrates the common natural differences we all share and is a place we can build common ground with others to make our community stronger. We believe there is great benefit in sharing stories, traditions, faiths, and food from all cultures, including the ones of our Native peoples and the many cultures that have settled here throughout our history. But there is still much work to be done that a one day event can’t accomplish. So, we are increasing our efforts and building a new organization so that we can do the work of creating a welcoming community, supporting diversity in New Hampshire EVERY day.
