Events

Don't miss the Second Annual Walnut Creek Sustainability Week, a community-wide undertaking for the public in and around Walnut Creek. EcoFest in Civic Park is the kickoff event, followed by daily opportunities to learn in person or online. The aim is to bring local organizations and small businesses together to elevate sustainable lifestyles and stress the importance of advocacy for an environmentally-friendly and healthy city. Jackie Garcia Mann, co-organizer with 350 Contra Costa says, “Events all week will welcome the community to step in and learn, engage, and act for the planet.” Every day has a different theme, such as reducing plastic waste, home building electrification or youth climate activism.
