Concord's town plaza, dedicated to the people of the town by founder Don Salvio Pacheco, was bounded by Mt. Diablo, Fernando, Grant, and Main Streets. Its tall eucalyptus and cypress trees and many shrubs shaded the tables, benches, and bandstand. Band concerts, dances, and political speeches were given in the plaza, and picnics and celebrations for the holidays and special events were also held there.

In 1861, a six-acre site (near Bisso Lane today) was purchased from Don Salvio Pacheco to become the county fair site. The annual fair, held in the second week of October, was the biggest event in the county. Schools were closed and families traveled long distances to attend. Sulky races were held, ladies competed for prizes in cooking, baking, sewing and more, while the Pacheco Brass Band added to the festivities. Giant produce and the latest in farm equipment was displayed. Not to be forgotten was the ladies' broom drill team!

The Concord Historical Society congratulates the Diablo Japanese American Religious & Cultural Center on its Centennial year! It started out as a school for the children of Japanese immigrant farmers to know the language and culture of Japan. Today, the JARCC has "become a prominent local landmark and gathering place for religious, cultural, educational, and social activities." At the October 11th commemoration, the film "KIZUNA: A History of the Diablo JA Club in Concord, California " was premiered.
