Today, we celebrate the history of the Walnut Festival in Walnut Creek.
The video above was created in the early-1990s, and includes some interesting facts, including how the Mayor of Concord in 1911 asked all Concord residents to travel to Walnut Creek to assist in the success of the event.
The Concord Mayor also created a city-wide holiday to celebrate the festival in Walnut Creek.
