Dogapalooza Comes to Downtown Concord

Intown’s annual First Friday, a monthly community event to bring people together, is held on the first Friday of each month, and began in May.

The next event is this Friday, from 4 to 8 p.m., up and down Main Street.

This marks the first time that dogs will take center stage for an event that has always featured music, food and late-night shopping.

Thirty-five stores will keep their lights on late, and many have adopted a policy to allow dogs in.
