Treat Yourself to Concord Artisan Pieces

The temps are heating up, which means outdoor activities in Concord are reaching full swing. One local favorite that I’d recommend visiting is the Concord Arts Market’s Arts in the Park, located at the South End’s Rollins Park. Started in 2008, this outdoor craft fair features artisan crafts, fine arts, adorable tchotchkes, and so much more—there truly is a little something for everyone. Each month from June through October, artists, designers, and creators gather to showcase and sell their work, cultivating a vibrant hub of creativity and inspiration. Occasionally, you can catch a food truck or a café booth for a bite to eat, or see a live performance from a busking musician.

The first Arts in the Park is coming this weekend, and it’ll be one for the books. Alongside the nearly 60 vendors will be food and ice cream trucks, art activities put on by Kimball Jenkins School of Art, and live music and entertainment.

One of the coolest things about the Concord Arts Market is the variety of work you’ll find. Whether you’re on the hunt for a standout piece to spice up your space or that perfect handmade accessory to match your aesthetic, you can find yourself with endless possibilities. Offerings include, but are not limited to:

  • Handmade Jewelry

  • Home Decor

  • Textiles

  • Sustainable Products

  • Macramé

  • Stickers & Buttons

  • Fine Arts

  • Crafts

For over a decade, The Concord Arts Market has been committed to supporting local talent. When you buy directly from the artists, you're not just picking up something unique, you’re also helping Concord’s creative community grow and thrive. That kind of support keeps the local art scene buzzing and inspires artists to keep doing what they love. But this market isn’t just a place to shop—it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and local flair. Whether you’re a dedicated art lover or just browsing, you’ll find all kinds of spectacular pieces and get to hear the stories behind them. So if you're in the mood for a weekend of art, culture, and inspiration, swing by the Concord Arts Market and see what New Hampshire’s Capital City has to offer.
