We have partnered up with Moveable Feast, SF Etsy, and many local Foster City businesses and organizations to host a jam packed weekend full of fun activities for folks of all ages. Proceeds from Summer Days goes directly into the City's Community Benefits Fund to be used towards future programs and events. Admission to the event is free. Tickets are required for the carnival rides.
