Concord Woke Up to a Love Note from Visit Concord
Concord, CA — CONCORD, CA – If you spotted a big red heart around town today… it wasn’t Cupid. It was Visit Concord. 😉
Beginning yesterday (Friday) and continuing overnight, Visit Concord quietly placed thousands of custom Valentine’s hearts at small businesses across the city. From storefront doors to front counters, these bright red love notes were secretly delivered to greet business owners, employees, customers — and the entire Concord community — with one simple message:
With Love. #VisitConcordCA
Think of it as a citywide Valentine’s surprise.
While we couldn’t reach every single business (there are so many we love!), thousands of hearts were posted throughout Concord to celebrate the local shops, restaurants, service providers, and entrepreneurs who keep our city thriving.
Because Concord isn’t just a destination — it’s a community. And this Valentine’s Day, Visit Concord wanted to remind everyone that when you support local, you’re part of something special.
If you find a heart, snap a photo and share it using #VisitConcordCA — and help us spread the love even further.
With love,
Visit Concord
