- Lots of great events are happening downtown this summer:
- Starlight Cinemas
- Dine Downtown
- Family Day at the San Jose Museum of Art
- Starting May 15th, the Downtwown PBID is bringing 2 off-duty police officers to patrol down time 4 hours a days, 4-5 times per week. The main goal is to reduce "quality-of-life" crimes, respond to calls from business/property owners, and work with Growndwerx to assist Downtown patrons.
- 1stACT has developed a Small Wonders Innovation Fund for projects to activate Downtown streets such as new events, exhibits, interactive projectsions, art projects, and live performances.
- The SJDA and San Jose Jazz are joining forces to expand the 32nd annual Blues Festival on July 14th at St. James Park.
- The Friday Farmer's Market is back for it's 20th Season! It is located along San Pedro Square. (There is also a new Saturday Market, you have 2 to choose from!)
