With a wide range of locally sourced and artisanal foods crafted by innovative chefs, Walnut Creek has become an epicurean epicenter.

The Gourmet Gallop benefits Diablo Ballet, Diablo Ballet School and its PEEK Outreach Program (Performing Arts Education & Enrichment for Kids), which is one of the only arts education programs of its kind offered by a professional dance company in the Bay Area. PEEK provides in-school social emotional and movement curriculum to Title-1 students in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, who have few opportunities to participate in the arts. The PEEK Extension program brings arts education to teenagers incarcerated in the Contra Costa County juvenile justice system and adolescents at the Behavioral Therapy Unit at John Muir Hospital in Concord.
