**UPDATE**
Concord Carnival 2020 cancelled
Given widespread community concerns about the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the decision to cancel this year’s Concord Carnival.
As disappointing as this is, the health and wellbeing of our community comes first.
Thank you to everyone for your support and enthusiasm in the lead up to the carnival.
**UPDATE**
Concord Carnival is back! The annual family fun day will be returning to Greenlees Park on Sunday, 15 March 2020 from 10am–4pm. Come along to the carnival which attracts over 30,000 people from across the City.
In 2020 we’re celebrating our community’s heritage. We’ll be reliving the Halcyon Days of Concord, a significant and iconic period of time that spanned from the 1920s through to the late 1940s.
The roaring twenties was a period of economic prosperity and growth for the middle class. Women’s rights grew following their indispensable contribution to the war effort. There was a celebrity craze in the media with movie stars and sporting heroes attaining unprecedented fame. Sport stadiums and palatial cinemas were built. Cars, lighting, radio broadcasts and more became commonplace.
The visual identity born from this time still defines the character of Concord. The event will include over 80 food, merchandise and information stalls, horse and carriage rides, vintage vehicle displays and free amusements.
