Looking for Father's Day events? Todos Santos Plaza is hosting its annual celebration on Sunday, June 16 starting at 11 a.m.
Daring, dashing and doting dads will be honored this Sunday, June 16 at Concord's annual Father's Day event in Todos Santos Plaza.
The celebrations kick off at 11 a.m. with a chili cook-off. Seven teams are taking part in the fourth annual competition, which sees Concord Police, Contra Costa Fire, and the District Attorney’s Office battling it out for the coveted awards of "Best Chili," "Best No-Beef Chili" and "Best Decorated Booth." There will be a nominal charge for tasting and voting on the winner in each category, according to the city.
Other attractions include a Corvette mini car show, with showpieces from Diablo Valley Corvettes displayed around the plaza, and the monthly Concord Antiques Faire from 9 a.m.
