A quick guide to fun things happening in Concord this month:
1. BIG HARE DAY
Everyone’s favorite oversized rabbit is back! That’s right, the Easter Bunny returns to the Sunvalley Shopping Center Friday, March 25 through Saturday, April 16. Grab the kids and hop on over for a visit and photo with the big cottontail himself.

3. NOT-SO-MELLOW CELLO
Celebrate 2Cellos 10th year at the Concord Pavilion on Saturday, April 16. The dynamic duo has gone viral with their imaginative and energetic covers of pop, rock and classical songs. If you’ve never seen them before, prepare to be blown away at this special night under the stars.
4. YO QUIERO CONCORD
Who loves the new Perro Trail? Any dog lucky enough to spend a day in Concord, that’s who! And with this handy new map and directory to pet-friendly parks, restaurants, tap rooms and lodging, their humans will love it just as much.
