Come celebrate Independence Day in 2023 in San Mateo with a 4K Fun Run and 4th of July Parade followed by a festival with Midway BBQ & Carnival games for the kids, 12:30pm Pie baking contest, 2pm Swim races, and Cardboard boat races. The 2023 theme is May the FOURTH be with you!

Parade typically starts at 10 am.

Please note, this event is strictly for locals and former residents. This is a small community event and cannot handle large crowds.

For safety, drones are not allowed to be flown at any HCA event. 

Details for all events can be found in the June issue of the Highlands Lowdown newsletter. We purposely mail the details, to every home in the Highlands, rather than post them to the public website, to maintain space at the events for our HCA members. 

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
