Your Introduction to Redwood City, CA
Redwood City, California, is a dynamic city in the heart of Silicon Valley, approximately 27 miles south of San Francisco and 24 miles northwest of San Jose. Just a few minutes away, you’ll find Menlo Park, where big corporations like Meta and Google built their headquarters.
We love it because Redwood City has the perfect sunny climate, with 255 days of sun yearly. It’s so nice that the city’s slogan, “Climate Best by Government Test,” is based on a climatological survey that found the area’s climate among the world’s best. Redwood City offers a perfect blend of urban amenities, natural beauty and Silicon Valley innovation.
7 Things To Do in Redwood City This Weekend
1. Explore Downtown Redwood City
Start your journey in the heart of Redwood City — downtown Redwood City — a vibrant area teeming with cultural events and delicious restaurants. Courthouse Square frequently hosts live events, and you can check out their schedule for Music on the Square here.
But if outdoor concerts aren’t your thing, you’ll also find ART on the Square and Movies on the Square. You may also enjoy all the holiday events held throughout the year. Maybe you’ll find yourself there for Halloween, Lunar New Year or Oktoberfest — your choices are endless.
If the hustle of downtown has you feeling hungry, this area of Redwood City also has a variety of fantastic dining options to suit any palate. Enjoy wood-fired pizzas and creative small plates at Vesta, or savor modern American fare with craft cocktails at Timber & Salt. For a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine, Quinto Sol is a lively spot with fresh ceviche and tacos.
But maybe you’re craving foods that feel a bit closer to home. If so, Angelica’s offers diverse American and international dishes in a unique setting, often accompanied by live music.
Pair your downtown exploration with a euphoric buzz, perhaps from something sativa-leaning. The invigorating effects of sativa strains can enhance social interactions and keep your senses sharp while taking in all the sights and sounds of cute downtown Redwood City.
2. Adventure in Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve
Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature. This 467-acre woodland offers miles of hiking trails with stunning views of the Bay Area. Along your hike, you might spot deer, hawks, rabbits, coyotes, lizards and owls. Begin your walk at the “Edgewood Trailhead” for a flat, easy start, then challenge yourself by hitting the more rigorous trails.
Bring along a CBD-infused balm or topical for muscle relief post-hike. The soothing effects of CBD can help alleviate any soreness or tension you might feel after a day of wandering the trails, ensuring you stay comfortable and ready for your next adventure.
3. Find Serenity and Beauty at Pulgas Water Temple
Just a short drive from Redwood City lies the stunning Pulgas Water Temple. Designed by architect William G. Merchant, it is one of our city’s most remarkable architectural landmarks.
The temple was built to commemorate the completion of the Hetch Hetchy Project. This turn-of-the-century engineering marvel transports water more than 160 miles across California to San Francisco. It marks the symbolic endpoint of this ambitious water system, celebrating the arrival of Sierra Nevada water to the San Francisco Peninsula.
Enhance your deep dive into local history with a THC-Infused Gummy. The calming effects will help you enjoy the serene setting even more, allowing you to fully appreciate the tranquil beauty of the Pulgas Water Temple while indulging in a little treat.
4. Explore Redwood Shores
Another short drive from the city center, you’ll find Redwood Shores. It’s a serene escape for bird-watching, scenic views and ocean-side activities. This area encompasses many different green spaces, including Marlin Park, Mariner Park, Preserve Park and Shorebird Park, among others. Altogether, they provide the perfect opportunity to connect with nature or simply relax by the water.
It’s also a major setting for college rowing races, including competitions among Pacific 10 Conference universities. Don’t forget to check out the Community Association’s activies schedule to see if there’s a concert, competition or meet-up planned.
While you are at it, elevate all this time spent outside in nature with something that has the perfect serving of everyday THC. With a small to medium dose, you can enhance your experience without overpowering your senses. The subtle effects will encourage appreciation for the natural world around you, making every moment in Redwood Shores feel a little more magical.
5. Tour the Little Free Libraries
If you usually find yourself curled up with a book on a Friday night, Redwood City has something perfect for you. Spend an hour or so on a walking tour of the Little Free Libraries around Redwood City (and the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area.)
These charming book-sharing spots can be found in quiet corners in the city’s neighborhoods, from Mount Carmel to Roosevelt to Palm Park. Here, you can exchange books and discover hidden literary treasures.
Enhance your bookworm adventure with a balanced tincture for a calm and focused state of mind. A few drops will help you sink deeper into your favorite book while keeping you relaxed and in the moment.
6. Learn About San Mateo County and Redwood City History
The San Mateo County History Museum is a fascinating cultural institution in downtown Redwood City. It lives in the historic 1910 San Mateo County Courthouse, an impressive Italian Renaissance Revival-style building featuring the largest stained glass dome on a public building on the West Coast.
If you want to learn about our neck of the woods, you’ll find an in-depth look at Redwood City’s history here. It highlights the rich history of San Mateo County and Redwood City through interactive exhibits and displays. Some permanent exhibitions include:
- Journey to Work: Depicting how transportation transformed the county
- Land of Opportunity: Highlighting immigrant experiences in the county
- Maverick’s: Featuring the history of the San Mateo County coast and surfing
For a visit to the San Mateo County History Museum, try pairing the experience with a few puffs from a hybrid vape cartridge. The balanced effects of a hybrid strain offer a great mix of relaxation and mental clarity, allowing you to stay alert and engaged while you explore the museum’s exhibits.
7. Spend an Evening at the Legendary Redwood City Fox Theater
Experience a memorable night at the Fox Theater, another historic landmark in Redwood City known for its stunning art deco architecture and community theater events. Whether you’re catching a concert, comedy show or play, this theater always has an upbeat atmosphere. Its vintage charm and diverse lineup of acts make it the perfect venue for a fun and engaging evening.
We recommend fueling your evening at the theater with a THC-infused beverage. This light, enjoyable, alcohol-free buzz complements the evening energy. Sip discreetly while walking through a nearby park before the event starts for a relaxed and elevated mood.
