We've combined two of our favorite 4th of July events, the Family Parade and the Dog Show, into one new exciting event!

Contestants must be pre-registered prior to 4th of July. Registration Closes at 5pm July 3rd.
This event historically turns out a large crowd for the full day of activities and events. The community is encouraged to walk, bike, and carpool to the Fourth of July Celebration. There will be no shuttle service for this event.
Here are a few tips to help make your Fourth of July in Foster City a safe and enjoyable experience.
Fireworks Firing Line: The firing line site for the July 4th Pyrotechnic Show will be located at the west end of Ryan Park. The firing line site can be a dangerous area and will be fenced off. We request your cooperation in keeping clear from the firing line and not crossing the fenced-off area.
Come enjoy the sounds and dance of India! This event is organized by community volunteers and co-sponsored by the Foster City Parks and Recreation Department. Don't miss out on this free family friendly event held in the Leo Ryan Park Amphitheater.
