"Redwood City: Our Town – Downtown" Community & Family Event on October 15th Celebrating the Renaissance of Downtown
REDWOOD CITY, CA - Redwood City’s revitalized
Downtown will be unveiled on October 15th, 2006 with
a fun, exciting celebration. “Redwood City:
Our Town - Downtown” will offer great
activities, music and entertainment, food, beverages, and
a wonderful time for the entire family from
noon until 7 pm. Theatre Way and parts of Broadway
will be pedestrian-only, making this a family-friendly event
not to miss! Join Redwood City Mayor Barbara Pierce at 11
am on the steps of the Old Courthouse/San Mateo
County History Museum for the opening ceremony.
Four stages of live musical entertainment throughout Downtown will keep Redwood
City rocking all day, along with street performers, free tango lessons, a street
jam, and blues at the Little Fox! Local restaurants, wineries and microbreweries
will be offering their delicious fare to taste and enjoy. Classic car and carriage
displays, horse-drawn carriage rides, face painting, pumpkin walk, arts and crafts
like stained glass, ship making, and more! Historical reenactments, walking tours
of the Fox Theatre and other historical buildings, discounted entry to the San
Mateo County History Museum, stagecoach display…the list goes on and on.
Much of the event takes place on Broadway and on the beautiful new section of
Middlefield Road, which has been nicknamed "Theatre Way" from Veterans Blvd.
to Main Street. Theatre Way is a great place to eat, drink, stroll, or meet up
with friends, and features attractive granite paving with special details to
bring out a European feel. Theatre Way now houses one of the world's best-designed
movie theater complexes – the Century Downtown 20 - with a soaring 40-foot
lobby ceiling, 20 screens, and 4,200 seats. At street-level, 85,000 square feet
of retail shops and restaurants are creating a lively and active downtown life.
Downtown Redwood City is truly the heart of the community. It is the center of
dining, shopping, government, and business for the entire city, and is destined
to be the entertainment hub of the San Francisco Peninsula. Join the community
for “Redwood City: Our Town – Downtown” and
celebrate a renewed pride in Redwood City. The event is sponsored by The San
Francisco Examiner, the City of Redwood City, The Wave, KEZR, and KBAY. For more
