Ways to Celebrate the 4th of July!
Nature's Symphony
The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate in the Bay Area. Here are a few local ways to celebrate the day.
Redwood City 4th of July Parade, Festival, and Fireworks
The Annual Fourth of July Parade in downtown Redwood City, the largest Independence Day parade in Northern California, attracts thousands of spectators. It brings entries from across the state. Most of the budget for the Parade is used for cash awards to participants, of which many winners are from Redwood City.
The parade starts promptly at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 4, 2022. You will know it’s time when you hear the cannon!
WHERE: Downtown Redwood City
