39th Annual Concord HS Family Carnival
When & Where: April 19th - April 21st
FUN FOR ALL AGES --- The three-day Concord Family Carnival, a Concord-area tradition since the mid 1970's, features adult rides, kiddie rides, games, prizes, and county fair-inspired food concessions. Gate Admission is $1.00/person (donated to the Mt. Diablo Music Education Foundation) or one can of food (donated to the Bay Area Crisis Nursery). Individual ride tickets or one-day unlimited ride wristbands are available for sale at the event. Carnival ride ticket proceeds benefit the shared safe & sober Graduation Night activities in June for Concord High, Ignacio Valley High, College Park High and Northgate High. Proceeds from the sales of bottled water at a special refreshment booth will benefit the Mt. Diablo Unified School District's Homeless Outreach Program for Education (HOPE) and the Foster Youth Services (FYS) Program. The Carnival will also feature musical entertainment on Saturday and Sunday by Concord High, Ignacio Valley High, Foothill Middle School, Cambridge Elementary School and Fair Oaks Elementary School. As a special tribute, the Carnival will also highlight the fact that two famous celebrities were born in Concord, CA. Saturday will be "Tom Hanks Day" in honor of the Academy Award Winning Actor and accomplished producer, director and screenwriter who was born in Concord in 1956. Sunday will be "Dave Brubeck Day" in honor of the late legendary jazz pianist and composer who was born in Concord in 1920.
