Get ready to celebrate the 408 at San Jose Day this weekend

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:30:03 GMT

I used to worry that nobody loved San Jose the way they did when I was a kid in the 1970s and ’80s, and that all the time we spend online left people with less of a connection to where they lived. Those of us who did love San Jose were getting gray and sometimes even our passion was cooling a bit.It turns out there’s no real need to worry, and one of the reasons is San Jose Day. You may not have heard about this, but there’s a huge, free event on Saturday — 4/08 on your calendar — at the Mexican Heritage Plaza to celebrate. It’ll have food trucks, live music, craft vendors, an art gallery and a car show. It’s everything San Joseans love besides orange sauce, swirls at Aqui and complaining about San Jose.What I really like about this event is who is putting it together. The eclectic collective behind San Jose Day is led by Haley Cardamon, Alejandro Berber, Jorge “J. Duh” Camacho, Carman Gaines, Patricia Stokes and Esther Young.Th...
