The 7th annual
San jose day recap
Viva CalleSJ and San Jose Day came together to celebrate our city, our people, our culture, under one beautiful sun! ✨🌞✨
Last year we celebrated @vivacallesj 10th anniversary and @sanjoseday 7th anniversary, which broke new records! Thousands of people explored 6 miles of open streets of San Jose and visited San Jose Day where they enjoyed 2 dance performances, 4 Live Art performances, 5 music performances, over 160 local vendors & activity hubs, and 15 food vendors.
The people spoke, and we all can agree; we love San Jose for its people, our passion for our city pride, how we embrace our diversity, and the place we simply call home ♥️
