Theme: "Celebrate California!"
The idea for a holiday celebration in Redwood City was formulated back in 1939 in the minds of Ole Olson, a car dealer, Walt Maloney, a butcher, and Charles Holt, a real estate agent. They felt that people shouldn't have to leave town to celebrate the Fourth of July, America's most important holiday. This was the beginning of what is now known as the Peninsula Celebration Association.
