PR - Event Cost Estimator

Estimator is intended to give event organizers an idea of how much proposed special event will cost based upon the details provided. Actual event costs will be validated and finalized based upon the application submittal.

The City of Foster City seeks full cost recovery of events, while encouraging and supporting events that help promote a sense of community, enrich our culture and support City’s philosophy of inclusiveness and other values, by helping organizers a) lower costs and b) eliminate process burden and bureaucracy, where possible, without adding risks/unintended consequences.
