What is the Marketplace?

It is, as the name suggests, a collection of many components of our regional community in West Contra Costa County: families, services, arts, homes & gardens, places to play, people, schools, and businesses.

History

Contra Costa Marketplace Magazine was first created in 1996. We grew from a home based business into a magazine that is read by over 100,000 readers each month. The motto behind our publication is that it must be local, positive, and insightful and bring a sense of community. We have kept that going for over 17 years. We have also had the pleasure of having very loyal advertisers throughout these years as our readership patronizes our local businesses over and over again due to the vey local nature of our magazine.
