The City of Fremont's Public Safety Fair will take place Saturday, October 3, at 2000 Stevenson Blvd from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The free, family-friendly event will showcase fire engines, patrol cars, a SWAT vehicle, and a mobile command vehicle, alongside food, giveaways, and an e-bike safety course for kids and adults.

The gathering will feature public-safety information, according to a Fremont Police Department announcement on Facebook. Beyond the vehicle displays, organizers say attendees can expect exhibitions from other city departments and outside agencies. Community members are invited to explore public safety resources and speak directly with department staff, per the same announcement. The event announcement is linked above.

E-Bike Safety Education at the Fair

The fair will include an e-bike safety course, where participants can practice bicycling and scooter riding and learn about traffic signs. The fair will also include additional activities alongside the hands-on programming.

The fair's e-bike safety programming comes as California traffic safety updates take effect in 2026. Under the changes, minors cited for helmet violations while riding electric bicycles can complete a California Highway Patrol online e-bike safety course to satisfy the legal requirement, according to The King City Rustler.

A Fair Rooted in a Broader Safety Track Record

The Public Safety Fair provides an opportunity for community engagement and for residents to learn about public safety resources.

Fremont's reputation for safety extends well beyond one event. The city was ranked the safest in the United States to raise a family in a national WalletHub study based on safety, education, health, and economic stability, according to GW Security. Fremont has also drawn attention in national city rankings.

The Fremont Fire Department, one of the participating departments, will be part of the fair. Fire vehicles and equipment will be showcased at the event. Attendees should check event information for available parking before arriving. The event site is at 2000 Stevenson Blvd.
