CONCORD, NH — The Market Days Festival is celebrating its 45th in downtown Concord later this week. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 20, Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, more than 150 vendors will be offering food and shopping options as well as fun things for kids to do and music, too. The "homegrown stage" in Bicentennial Square will feature all kinds of New Hampshire talent while the South Main Stage will feature comedy, theater, dance, and big bang sounds. The Eagle Square Stage features an All Star Show and Market Days Idol competition (if it rains, the contest will be held in the atrium at Tandy's).
