Please be advised that as of Thursday, April 11 our Festival in the Park is now a Festival in the Library!
Due to inclement weather we are relocating our stage programming and Library activities to the San Mateo Public Library Main Branch, two blocks away at 55 West Third Ave, San Mateo CA 94402
After all, the Library is the quintessential refuge on a rainy day. See you there!
San Mateo Public Library Foundation presents
San Mateo Celebrates!
National Library Week
April 7-13, 2024
Throughout National Library Week 2024 (April 7-13) the San Mateo Public Library Foundation (SMPLF) is spotlighting the programming the San Mateo Public Library (SMPL) routinely offers. We call our festival San Mateo Celebrates! – and it’s free just like the Library.
Check out the Event Lineup to learn about special happenings. The week culminates with an all-day festival on April 13 from 10am-4pm. San Mateo’s Central Park will hum. Central stage will feature performances and library-related programming, the lawn will hold 40+ artist and artisan vendors, food trucks will provide snacking options, and a Kids’ Zone, anchored by Parks & Rec, will offer games for the little ones.
Also on the evening of April 13, we’re holding Night At The Library, a fundraiser to benefit our community’s beloved San Mateo Public Library.
