Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Anyone searching for savory Asian food can find it at Kemuri Japanese Baru. The drinks from their full bar that specializes in sake, shochu, and whiskey from Japan compliment the Kobe-style beef steak and unagi Kaba-yaki.
For Broadway shows and performances by some of the most recognized names in music, the Fox Theatre located downtown has been around since 1929. The Fox Theatre was originally built to be a movie theater, but it was quickly converted into a venue that could host live performances, which helped establish its place in Redwood City for decades. There are up to 150 events scheduled every year, so they can provide a little bit of everything.
Right beside the Fox Theatre is Club Fox. A quaint place to catch a live performance whether it’s music or a comedy show. The club is small and intimate, with a dance floor before the stage and a lounge area serving food and drinks. People can use the venue to host private events for milestone celebrations or corporate meetings.
Things to Do
Redwood City Salsa Festival celebrates the joys of salsa and brings together vendors and other artisans to sell their salsas and other food.

Along with great food, three stages with dance floors are set up to play jazz, reggae, and salsa.
The largest Fourth of July Parade in Northern California is held in Redwood City. The day starts with a run that follows the route of the parade which is then followed by the parade.

A great way to celebrate the fall is with the Redwood Oktoberfest.
