CELEBRATE FOURTH OF JULY IN REDWOOD CITY AND AT THE PORT OF REDWOOD CITY!
The Fourth of July in Redwood City is not to be missed! Join the City of Redwood City and the Port for celebrations the whole family can enjoy. Check out the links below to stay in the know about the parade and other downtown event details. Celebrate by watching the fireworks show in the evening at the Port of Redwood City! The Fourth of July Fireworks Extravaganza is brought to the community by the City of Redwood City and the Port of Redwood City and sponsors including Sims Metal Management, Recology, Sares Regis, and County Consumer Plumbing Service & Repair Group.
 
There will be food trucks available from 7:00 p.m. — 9:00 p.m. The Blue- Coastside Cool Band will play at the Port’s waterfront access area beginning at 7:00 p.m.
 
The fireworks show will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m. The fireworks can be seen from areas where there is a clear view of the skies above the Port, and from high points all over the Peninsula. The Port is providing a public viewing area along the waterfront off Seaport Court. Portable restrooms and sinks will be available. BBQs are not permitted, alcohol is prohibited on-site at the fireworks show, and personal fireworks are always illegal in Redwood City.

The Port encourages visitors to arrive early, as the area is private property with very limited public parking. Once public parking is filled, Seaport Boulevard will be closed to all vehicle traffic at the intersection of Seaport/Blomquist. Once the intersection has been closed, no vehicle access to the Port area will be available. This traffic control restriction could occur as early as 7:00 p.m. Just prior to the conclusion of the fireworks show, southbound access to Highway 101 from Seaport will be closed. Vehicular traffic will be diverted to northbound Highway 101 only as this is the fastest and safest way out of the area.
