On Saturday, March 22, from 12 PM to 6 PM, Downtown San Jose will transform into a feline paradise for the first-ever San José Cat Day. This event is a collaboration between the San Jose Downtown Association, SJMADE, MOMENT, and Mini Cat Town, and it’s set to be the ultimate celebration of all things kitty. Whether you’re a proud cat parent or just someone who can’t resist a good purr, this is the place to be!
The event features a Cat-Themed Vendor Market buzzing with over 20 local artists, makers, and illustrators, all showcasing their creative, cat-inspired goodies. From quirky artwork to handmade treasures, you’ll find plenty of unique items to bring a little feline flair into your life. There’s a Kitten Lounge hosted by Mini Cat Town where you can snuggle up with adorable, adoptable kittens. (Pro tip: reserve your spot in advance for some one-on-one cuddle time—walk-ins are limited.)
The fun unfolds outdoors at MOMENT San Pedro Square (60 N. San Pedro Street), right in the heart of Downtown San Jose. But wait, there’s more! Head over to MOMENT Japantown (208 Jackson Street) for Forever Garf, an original art show featuring Garfield-themed works from over 20 artists. You can snag some of this art on a “cash and carry” basis—buy it, take it home, and let Garfield rule your walls. Plus, the first 1,000 attendees at the art show score a free Garfield sticker by the talented poster illustrator @coco.choon.
And don’t miss the special giveaway at MOMENT Paseo (112 Paseo de San Antonio)—the first 1,000 folks to stop by the SJ Cat Day Booth will grab an 8.5" x 11" art print of this year’s San José Cat Day poster (minus the event info), also by @coco.choon. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the day and show off your San Jose pride.
Admission is free and parking is easy (check out parksj.org, or just use the San Pedro Square Garage with 90min of free parking). It's a great opportunity to support local creators and kitten rescue efforts, so a win-win for everyone.
