Oakley Orchards in Bloom, February 26, 2026

Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out

Thursday, February 26, 10 am - 2 pm

Oakley orchards along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail

750 Delta Road, Oakley CA 94561

My favorite Oakley orchards are blooming! Let's paint there this coming Thursday, February 26 to enjoy their quiet beauty. Clear weather is forecast so it should be nice. It can get windy and chilly out there, though, so be prepared.

We'll be painting along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail just south of where it crosses Delta Road in Oakley. There are orchards on both sides of Marsh Creek -- a large plum orchard on the west side and a small grove of older trees on the east side next to the paved trail. We can set up along the wide, paved trail for great views in all directions. On a clear day you can see Diablo (it was snowy on Feb 18 when I took this photo.)

The address you can use to find our spot is 750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561. Parking is along the shoulder of Delta Road. Please note, there are no restrooms at this location. Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
