The Treasure Hunt will take place for two weeks leading up to West Concord’s spring festival, Spring into West Concord, on May 16th.

Approximately 30 businesses will receive lanterns which have been made by local artists. Each lantern will be numbered and hang in a window. People can pick up game sheets with the names of the businesses, which they match with the numbers on the lanterns. Those who complete the sheets can hand them in and be entered into a raffle.

Typically about 20 local businesses donate prizes for the raffle. The purpose of the game is to bring people into the business district and have them explore. This will be our 5th year heading up a game. They have been very popular with both participants and businesses.

DATES & TIMES: Self-Guided Treasure Hunt: May 1 – 16; Spring into West Concord: May 16, 10 AM – 3 PM

LOCATION: Streets and Businesses of West Concord, MA 01742
