"I think our customers are like family. That's something that we really try to cultivate in our customer base—that sense of belonging and that buy-in to what you can do for your community when you shop locally."

— Elyssa Alfieri, Lilise Designer Resale

Welcoming Week

September 13-22, 2024

Photo submission will reopen in September 2025.

Welcoming Week is presented annually by the Concord Multicultural Festival in September. All are invited to get involved in by bringing together neighbors of all backgrounds to build strong connections and affirm the importance of welcoming and inclusive places.

We’re proud to support a welcoming community through this project. Local businesses and organizations are invited to join the celebration! We encourage your team to take a photo with our “I’m a Welcomer” signs and submit the image to our online album. We will also incorporate submitted images in our prominent window display at 49 South Main Street in Concord.

Want to get more involved? This year’s Welcoming Week theme is “We’re All In”. Visit Concord Multicultural Festival’s dedicated webpage with more ideas.
