Much of the event takes place on Broadway between Middlefield and Hamilton and on the beautiful new Theatre Way. With its retail shops and restaurants complete with outdoor dining, Theatre Way is a great place to eat, drink, shop, stroll, and meet up with friends and family. Theatre Way and parts of Broadway will be pedestrian-only, making this a family-friendly event not to miss! Downtown Redwood City, with its lively and active music, theater, dining, and shopping scene, is truly the heart of the community and is becoming the entertainment hub of the San Francisco Peninsula. Plus, you can take the train! Redwood City’s Caltrain station is just a short walk from Downtown. Be a part of the community with Redwood City’s Salsa Festival and celebrate the culture and heart of the SF Peninsula.
Redwood City’s Salsa Festival is sponsored by Redwood City's Redevelopment Agency & Parks, Recreation and Community Services, the Redwood City Downtown Business Group and The Daily News Group.
