What we do

Every Halloween the Walnut Beach Creamery plays host to the Witches of Walnut Beach.  With a DJ and dancing and candy being tossed from above, come get your free ice cream (for anyone in costume, while supplies last) and prepare for the Witch led Halloween parade, stopping at participating businesses and some households along the short route for a treat, then back to the creamery for music, dancing and a delightful, not frightful, flash mob witch dance!   

Join us 10/31 5pm - 7pm

Each February the Walnut Beach businesses hold an art contest for the cover of our Walnut Beach Event Calendar.  All are welcome to submit their best Mermaid art for consideration.  The chosen mermaid will be displayed in full color as the cover art for the Annual Walnut Beach Event Calendar and the "People's Choice" winner will have their winning piece displayed within the calendar.

Thank you to Bu Tu for your ongoing mural work. Bu was chosen through our open call for artists earlier this year. We chose her design as we we drawn to the water theme and her whimsical design. Bu uses the natural world as her muse and it is a reoccurring theme in her work. She is also inspired by philosophy, science, conservationism, psychology, and cartoons. She spent many summers at Walnut Beach while attending the Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven and the Art Institute of Chicago.  Great Job Bu! We love what you have brought to the neighborhood. 

Join us in hosting the Spiritual, Psychic Medium, Catherine Crowley for a one night only Gallery reading at Tyde of Walnut Beach. 

CATHERINE CROWLEY

"My name is Catherine Crowley, and I'm a spiritual psychic medium.  It is said that not all psychics are mediums, but all mediums are psychics.  A psychic is one who knows the past, present, and future.  A medium communicates with the spirit world.

I was born with the ability to communicate with spirit, mainly loved ones who have crossed over, I can see, hear and feel them.  I recall using my abilities around the age of four.  At the time it had my parents very concerned and looking for answers.  It wasn't until the age of fifteen, while volunteering at a nursing home, that an experience had me starting my own journey to understand what was happening.  I was approaching by a nun at at the nursing home who told me I had "a very special gift" and "God had a plan for my life, and I was not to be afraid."

Years later I started giving readings.  I've been enjoying doing so for the last 35 years.  It is with much compassion and gratitude that I offer my gift helping others connect with friends and loved ones who have crossed over."
