The annual Water Lantern Festival is an incredible experience where you, your friends, and your family create a magical memory together. It can be a very emotional experience, writing down some of your hope and dreams, or a letter to a loved one, and then sending it out into the water. Some of our officers were able to join the community in this special event in Foster City at our very own Leo J Ryan Park. Thanks to all who let us share this moment with them. 🏮🌌✨

departments serve our community every day. Through this free and interactive program, participants can connect with City leaders, learn about municipal services and decision-making, and discover new ways to get involved in Foster City.

Yesterday we hosted this amazing group where they had great questions, engaged in informative discussions, plus they got a tour of our police department. We hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. It was a nice evening getting to meet and speak with amazing people. Thank you for your support and interest in being part of the Foster City Civics Academy. 💙
