Dozens of people braved a heatwave to attend the first activation of Redwood City\u2019s Entertainment Zone on Thursday afternoon, just in time for the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The zone is a pilot program that pairs outdoor drinking with live music, games and \u201cnew downtown experiences,\u201d according to the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cDowntown Redwood City is already one of the Peninsula\u2019s most vibrant public spaces,\u201d said Mayor Elmer Mart\u00ednez Saballos. \u201cThe Entertainment Zone gives us another way to support local businesses, bring people together and create a welcoming experience on Broadway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Rodriguez, 33, was one enthusiastic attendee on June 11. He works as a special education teacher, and said he is happy to celebrate summer break with a beer in hand on Broadway in the middle of the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt already felt like a united town,\u201d Rodriguez said, \u201cbut it\u2019s great that Redwood City is expanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
