However, in the heart of Concord, New Hampshire, there’s a vibrant celebration of local businesses that embody the spirit of togetherness and personal touch—welcome to Spread Joy, Shop Concord.

This annual initiative, a collaborative effort between the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, Intown Concord, and NBT Bank, N.A., serves as a rallying cry to celebrate and support local enterprises. It's not just about commerce; it’s about stories, the beating heart behind each storefront, and the community that thrives on these connections.

The campaign, which garners attention from across the state and engages nearly 30,000 individuals annually on social media, beckons everyone to dive into the experience.
