A Contra Costa County Shopping Destination
Walnut Creek hosts two vibrant markets, representing a significant portion of the seasonal offerings in Contra Costa County. As part of California's massive network of 94 markets, this city provides a localized experience for residents seeking fresh goods. The community atmosphere here is warm and focuses on supporting regional small-scale producers.
Two Distinct Community Markets
Shoppers choose between the Walnut Creek Community Market on Fridays and Saturdays or the Community Community Market specifically on Saturdays. While both offer artisan crafts, they differ in schedule with the Friday option opening earlier in the season. Each location serves as a friendly hub for the neighborhood to gather and shop.
Artisan Jams and Handcrafted Goods
With 14 unique products available, you will find jams, preserves, and handmade soaps at both local market locations. Specialist items like cider, fresh pasta, and wine are also featured depending on which market you visit. It is the perfect place to stock your pantry with high-quality, local staples.
Planning Your Seasonal Visit
Walnut Creek markets are strictly seasonal, so plan your trips between March and November. Saturdays are the busiest days with two markets in operation, while Friday offers a more relaxed morning shopping window. Neither market currently operates year-round, making every visit a special seasonal occasion.
