As the adage goes, April showers bring May flowers… but this year it decided to bring even more rain. Even if the weather isn’t ideal, there is still so much to do in Concord to beat the gloom! Read on to check out some drier options you can take advantage of this Spring.

See a show at the Capitol Center

With two great venues downtown, The Capitol Center for the Arts regularly puts on spectacles with something for everyone. Patrons can watch a program at the original Cubb Theater or the nearby Bank of NH Stage, where more intimate events and shows take place.

If you’re a fan of movin’ and groovin’, check out events like the Swing Dance Night at the BNH stage, where you can get active without worrying about the weather.

Visit the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center

For those interested in what lies beyond, the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center is your destination for all things out-of-this-world. Stop by to visit their many exhibits, or sit back and watch a show at their planetarium. Families with little ones can take advantage of the center’s child-friendly atmosphere and family programs and shows.

Drinks from Feathered Friend BreweryGrab a brew

Even if the sun isn’t out, the sky is still lighter later – and the warmer nights are a great opportunity to experience Concord nightlife. Consider visiting Concord Craft Brewing Co. for a local specialty or flex your knowledge at 2025 Pinnacle Award Winner Feathered Friend during one of their Wednesday Trivia nights.

There’s so many ways to enjoy Concord without getting soaked, and even more exciting options for those fairer days. Stay dry and happy Spring!

Following the 1989 Challenger disaster, the NH legislature decided that a field trip destination would be the best way to honor the “field trip teacher” thus Christa McAuliffe Planetarium was born.
