About Foster City Summer Days

The City of Foster City is excited to host the community event, Summer Days, for the 4th time this August.  It made its original debut in 2019. Summer Days will be another opportunity for families, neighbors, and friends to connect and to celebrate the City's birthday. We will be partnering up once again with local Foster City businesses and organizations to host a jam packed weekend full of fun activities for folks of all ages.   Admission to the event is free.  Tickets are required for the carnival rides.

Please note that the event layout for 2025 will be modified due to ongoing construction of our new Community Center.

For general questions, email recreation@fostercity.org.
