History:
For well over half a century, the non-profit Walnut Festival Association has attracted the most dedicated volunteers, from all walks of life, who join together to serve Contra Costa County by raising funds through community events.

The money raised from these annual family entertainment events is donated back into the community to support recreational, cultural, and educational programs and facilities. The Walnut Festival Association events also provide a means for service and charitable groups to raise money to support their specific organizations.

The support of community minded businesses makes it possible for the Walnut Festival Association to maximize the amount of funds available for reinvestment in our community, enhancing the quality of life for everyone. Such involvement on the part of local businesses demonstrates a dedication to a partnership with the community that is appreciated by all.
