WHY LIVE IN WALNUT CREEK
FUN LOCAL EVENTS
Walnut Creek Downtown is presenting a month-long celebration of performing, visual, cultural and culinary arts in its "arts around August." Experience Movies under th Stars, PAINT the downTOWN plein air art festival, public art walking tours, Moveable Feast, treasure hunts and more.
I find the Moveable Feast to be quite intriguing! Their website describes it this way:
"Immerse yourself in an upscale, progressive food and beverage tour featuring three of Walnut Creek's best restaurants each Wednesday. The tour includes gourmet bites with beverage pairings and presentations by the chefs, all interspersed with interesting public art stops along the way that are guided by Bedford Gallery docents. Advance tickets required."
Check out the website for more details.
I love Walnut Creek!

The Walnut Creek Farmers’ Market is a thriving and wonderful community gathering place with friendly farmers and artisan purveyors offering an array of locally sourced food. A perfect place to meet a friend for coffee or to start the day off with your family, you’ll find many of your grocery needs at your fingertips, including breads, cheese, dips, honey, jams, meats and olive oil.

We are proud to work with farmers and artisan vendors who provide some of the finest and freshest produce each week. The farmers and vendors are happy to answer any questions you may have about their growing practices or how they make their products, strike up a conversation with them!
Nestled on Locust Street between Cole and Lacassie St, the market’s central location makes it accessible to everyone whether you’re walking, biking, driving or riding public transit. We’re a short walk from BART. We look forward to seeing you at the market.
