After 29 years, the iconic Walnut Creek Yacht Club is closing May 7th in downtown Walnut Creek. I remember sending my kids to their kids’ summer cooking classes which was outstanding. There will be a “Memorabilia & Wine Sale” on, “May 12–16, May 19–23 and May 26-30 we’ll be at WCYC packing up and selling memorabilia, wine, and merchandise at discounted prices.”
From their website:

While checking out City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon over the weekend, I noticed many people walking by drenched in colors. It was only later that I realized this was part of the Holi festival. According to this Wikipedia article, “Holi is a major Hindu festival celebrated as the Festival of Colours, Love, Equality and Spring”.
From the event page:
Experience the energy of music, dancing, and the playful tradition of throwing colors on Bishop Drive.
