City of Walnut Creek

We are excited to welcome Hilton Garden Inn to Walnut Creek with the grand opening and ribbon cutting celebration scheduled for May 22nd.

Exciting News – prestigious California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) Merritt Award is coming to Walnut Creek! The City’s Economic Development team is proud to share that Diablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA) has won an Award of Merit for its Business Leaders for the Arts program. It’s an innovative initiative strengthening ties between the business and arts communities. CALED's recognition highlights the program’s impact in fostering cultural and economic vibrancy in Walnut Creek through promotion of the arts in downtown. DRAA is the proud nonprofit of the Lesher Center for the Arts. Congratulations to DRAA on this well-deserved achievement!

With over 150 restaurants in downtown alone, two homegrown Walnut Creek concepts are expanding far beyond the City limits. The three-story building located on the corner of Mt. Diablo and Main Street has turned out to be more than an architectural statement and an iconic gateway into downtown. Once a City-owned parking lot, it was developed by Brian Hirahara’s Walnut Creek-based BH Development with three separate restaurants on three floors as an incubator that celebrates innovative dining for all tastes. Ground floor Slice House is a fast-casual pizza concept founded by world-renowned pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani that has proven so successful that the concept is now franchising across California and Nevada. Teleferic Barcelona, the second story authentic Spanish tapas restaurant in the building, chose Walnut Creek as its first U.S. location in 2016. After much local support, it has expanded to Palo Alto, Los Gatos, and Los Angeles and has several more restaurants planned on the West Coast.
