If you already live in Concord, summer is less a season than a schedule. Two venues within about a mile of each other run parallel calendars from June through September, and how you use them is the difference between a Thursday spent circling for parking and a Thursday spent eating peaches on a blanket while a Pink Floyd tribute tunes up.
The tell that this year's programming was built for residents, not tourists, is buried in the middle of the Music & Market lineup: a big band night explicitly honoring the Concord Jazz Festival that ran at Todos Santos Plaza from 1969 to 2013. Once you notice that anchor, the rest of the summer starts to make more sense.

Music & Market is the free concert series in Todos Santos Plaza, and the 2026 edition is its 37th year.
