When most people think of California, they imagine places like Los Angeles or San Francisco. However, there are many hidden cultural gems in lesserknown cities such as Redwood City. This upandcoming destination is a melting pot of cultures that has long been home to artists, writers and musicians.
One must visit place is the Dragon Theater (2120 Broadway St., Redwood City). It started as a small theater company that produced plays out of local churches in 1999 but eventually grew into its own location. Today its one of the few independent theaters left on the Peninsula with new shows every month ranging from Shakespearean classics to modern dramas.
The Art Kiosk (2206 Broadway St., Redwood City) is another great spot for art enthusiasts looking for something unique. The kiosk features works by local artists who specialize in different mediums including painting, photography and sculpture.
Anyone interested in music should check out Club Fox (2209 Broadway St., Redwood City), which has played host to some famous performers over time such as Rick Derringer or Al Di Meola but also makes space for local bands across genres playing throughout the week.
For those seeking more traditional museums, dont miss out on visiting San Mateo County History Museum (Corner Of Hamilton And Middlefield Rd., 2200 Broadway), showcasing important aspects related to ethnic diversity over time periods from indigenous tribes through nowadays multicultural city life.
Finally dont forget about street murals! The vibrant murals by artist Bunnie Reiss can be found all around downtowns area examples include her Birds Mural located at Jefferson Court between Bradford Street & Main Street or her colorful Blossom Waves Mural decorating building facades at Theatre Way Or Franklin Str.. These lively creations add extra color popups not found in every other city with only one traditional art museum.
Redwood City may not be on the usual tourist trail but it is a mustsee destination for anyone interested in diverse cultural offerings. From theater to visual arts, music venues and historical museums Redwood City has something unique to offer its visitors!
