Urban Vibrancy Institute partners will be hosting more Downtown San Jose block parties in 2024

The 2023 block parties in Downtown San Jose were a lot of fun and highlighted underutilized neighborhoods. Some like Fountain Alley have a number of new restaurants worth checking out.

Now the Urban Vibrancy Institute is partnering with San Jose Live and Tailored By Design to expand its block party series in 2024. There will be a total of six events featuring all of the neighborhoods highlighted in 2023 and two new ones. The original events were in Fountain Alley, SoFA, San Pedro Square, and Little Italy. The new locations are Paseo de San Antonio and City Hall.

The Urban Vibrancy Institute's goal is to make San Jose the safest, cleanest, and most vibrant Downtown. Amen to that.

Specific objectives include increasing: pedestrian traffic to the Downtown core by 20%, awareness of amenities to residents, sales by 25-50% for local retailers and restaurants, and visitors' perception of safety.

Each event last year drew around 1,500 people and sales of highlighted businesses improved 20-35% from the previous week.

The first event of 2024 is tentatively scheduled for April 18th near City Hall.

Super Bowl Festivities in Downtown San Jose

Downtown San Jose is going all out for Super Bowl 50 this week! This isn't just pandering to this big event. The Carolina Panthers are staying at the San Jose Marriott and Super Bowl Opening Night will be hosted at the SAP Center. The heart of San Jose's Super Bowl 50 activities will be in Plaza de Cesar Chavez. They have installed an advanced lighting system synced to live music, a beer garden, multiple game areas, and food trucks. Downtown Ice is still going strong and there is even a NFL store pop-up shop nearby. San Pedro Square has shut down a whole street, added turf, and provided 50 nerf footballs to throw around.

There is a lot going on, and thankfully the city has provided an interactive Super Bowl 50 map for Downtown activities. Check it out over here!

It's PICK UP PARTY Time!  


In the most epic Pick Up Party yet, we'll be celebrating our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY in total funky style at Method 42's prop fabrication warehouse. Music from a life sized doll house, cold, Gordon Biersch beer served from an igloo and SNOW!

Print Subscribers, Contributors and Featured Personalities (and their +1) are invited to enjoy two free drinks, and a night of connecting and picking up the latest issue of Content Magazine. 


But wait! There's more!  Since this issue is focused on "FEAST" we felt there's no better way to celebrate than having one ourselves. And, since Content believes strength is found in community, we're doing it potluck style.  Here's how it's going to work:
  • Bring a dish that represents your holiday season. Bring enough to serve 10. (Main dish, side, dessert) 
  • Sign up to bring that dish on our online form. And, if you'd like to also be included in our special "Content Magazine Family Cookbook"--submit your recipe as well. We'll assemble all the recipes and make a digital version available in January.  
Stop on by. Meet new people. Learn new reasons to love your city.  RSVP (Facebook) //RSVP(email)
