Episode 7 of Living in Contra Costa County covers everything happening in the East Bay this week — from community events and local business to real estate, schools, and local government.

This week:

The Pleasant Hill Art, Wine & Music Festival returns May 16–17 with free admission, 13 live acts, and a beer from the world's oldest brewery. Bay Area KidFest hits Concord Pavilion for its 35th year over Memorial Day Weekend with Python Ron, Super Mario, and a family dance party. In Walnut Creek, a senior housing initiative collected 7,200 signatures in just 25 days — the fastest in city history — putting 200+ senior housing units near BART on the November 2026 ballot. We spotlight Clayton Valley Farms in Clayton, the family-run farm where Farmer Mike is growing fresh produce, pressing juice, and hosting alpacas. San Ramon launches its new Third Thursday Arts & Eats series starting May 15th at Dougherty Station. And El Cerrito becomes the first city in Contra Costa County to drop its Flock Safety contract after federal agencies accessed local license plate data without authorization.

If you live in Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, San Ramon, Clayton, El Cerrito, or anywhere in Contra Costa County — this episode is for you.
