That’s a wrap on the 2026 Locust Street Festival! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Downtown Walnut Creek this summer! Across two unforgettable evenings, Locust Street Festival brought our community together for live music, local food and drinks, artisan shopping, family-friendly fun, and plenty of summer memories.

A special thank you to our participating businesses, vendors, entertainers, sponsors, partners, volunteers, and everyone who helped bring the festival to life. We loved celebrating Downtown Walnut Creek with you and can’t wait to do it all again!
